Google challenges SourceForge in open source project hosting

Google Code Project Hosting 为开源项目提供类似SourceForge的空间支持,使用Subversion进行代码版本控制,每个项目可以获得近100M的空间。
这些将对SourceForge是一个不小的冲击,而且进来SourceForge总是不怎么稳定,惹得一些开源项目离开了SourceForge,其中就有大名鼎鼎的FireBird和JRuby。
感觉Google特象美国政府的风格,谁的地盘都要插上一脚。

Google announced today at OSCON, the O’Reilly open source conference, that it has launched an open source project hosting site that will rival SourceForge.net. The service has been given the unglamorous name Google Code Project Hosting.

Early comments around the web highlight the need for a competitor to
SourceForge.net, which is believed to experience too much down time and
emphasize enterprise users at the expense of others. SourceForge.net
runs on the propriety SourceForge software and is owned by Fremont
California’s VA Software.

Projects hosted by Google are organized by tag and includes an ajax feedback and issue tracking. They system is built on Subversion
and Google’s Big Table file system. Projects can be up to 100mb in
size. The reliability of Google’s uptime seems to be a primary selling
point.

The interface is pared down and doesn’t include much of the
information that you find when you look at a project on SourceForge.
There’s an ajax issue tracking feature for user feedback. So far the
whole thing looks far less user-friendly than SourceForge but if it’s
targeting a technical audience exclusively that might be of less
consequence.

Projects already available on the site include things like Webomedia, an ajax based framework that will help create online streaming of media, Simple File Manager, an easy to use web based alternative to FTP, and RepoMan, an encrypted Python P2P chat service. Humorously, the sample tag “stable” currently brings up no results.

Update: Several people have pointed to Jeff Lindsay’s DevjaVu as an alternative. It’s in private beta right now, but it’s a startup and we love startups.
