At?OSCON, Google employee Greg Stein said?about Google’s upcomming service for open source community called Project Hosting.
“The goal of hosting on Google Code is to promote healthy open source development by offering hosted tools that most open source projects can’t afford.” This is the reason why Google chose to offer this service only for open-source projects”
Project Host will include:
1. Project Workspaces and membership controls
2. Version control
3. Issue Tracking
4. Mailing Lists at Groups.google.com
Although?Google’s?Project?Hosting?doesn’t?have?all?the?feature?of?Sourceforge;?most?of?the?devlopers?are?likely?to?use?both?of?them?simultaneously.?Each?project?would?get?100?MB?Quota?and?it?has?to?store?its?Meta?Data.?The code management can be done with Subversion, a version control system similar to CVS
