That sort of thinking just seems so Borg to me. It's another way of
saying that a software product only has value if its hosted by the
ASF.
If a subproject, or even a project, is down to one or two committers,
and those committers can't find a third, and don't want to apply to
the Commons or declare the product dormant, then setting up shop on
GoogleCode is an excellent alternative. I've done the same myself, and
it's not the least bit painful. In many ways, it's joyful.
Which Apache projects have you moved to GoogleCode and found it a
joyful experience? ie) I presume you mean starting a project there
rather than moving a community from the ASF.
My distaste for driving people to an open source repository is not
because of the repositories, but because our rules have driven them
out.
It might even be healthy if more ASF committers were involved with
other hosts. The ASF may be a cult, but it should not also be a fetish
:)
Other communities, not 'host's. ie) You won't learn much from
code.google, java.net or sf.net other than whether you love or hate
the infrastructure. I bet a lot of us are involved with other
communities.
