Title: Project Hosting
Post by: croxis on September 29, 2009, 02:35:39 PM
We are getting to the point where we should look into an actual project page. There are many options, and people have their pet sites.  So I'm asking peeps to post their recommendations :)

Mine:

https://launchpad.net/
Example projects: https://launchpad.net/do and https://launchpad.net/mysql

(Their new UI is a little muddy, next version of the site should be a bit more clear)
Pros:

Bug reporting (linked to versions and version targets reports on progress)
Bazarr (version control along the line of git and Hg, also integrates with those systems)
Translations (Community contributes to translating strings used)
Multiproject bug reporting
Blueprints (features, also linked to version targets and reports on progress)
Code merge review process
Debian/Ubuntu repository with build in build process
Personal repository branches (like github)

https://launchpad.net/+tour/index has the full feature list

Cons:
Bazarr hosting only, windows support limited to Tortise Bazaar (That I am aware of)
Current UI is a bit muddy
No custom pages

I suggest sticking with github, not because its the best, but because everyone knows where it is at the moment, and there are already forks (all be it our own forks).

Git hub has bug reporting, and a wiki, it also has Pages <http://pages.github.com/ (http://pages.github.com/)> for the 'front pages' and things.

For my project Atocity i use a Proboard (http://atocity.proboards.com/). It's a fully customisable forum and i believe there is only a single advertisement per page.

There are many 'wiki' sites, i have utilized several and seen many, so theres one out there suitable for this project i'm sure.

I have actual web space, but I am hesitant to have a project site tied to any individual.

SC4 Devotion already has an existing wiki site called SC4 Encyclopaedia

this makes sense. I also have hosting, but theres no certainty that it would stay if I went MIA for a long period of time, which is unfair on the rest of you.

And FYI everyone else, we are hoping for a site that hosts code in a repository like situation, and the standard features like forums/wiki/etc.. not really interested in separate systems. Thanks though :)

You could take a look at Google Code

QuoteProject Hosting on Google Code provides a free collaborative development environment for open source projects. Each project comes with its own member controls, Subversion/Mercurial repository, issue tracker, wiki pages, and downloads section. Our project hosting service is simple, fast, reliable, and scalable, so that you can focus on your own open source development.

Yeah, mercurial is a rather similar system to our current one...I was just hoping for an exactly-similar one :D, and google-code isnt the easiest to navigate, I have found
