One extra thing to consider: maven repository hosting for syncing to central. If you're writing a library, this may be very useful. I'm looking at oss.sonatype.org for this. > None of them really convince me.

Though I use the google code wiki rather than the github one. Purely for hysterical raisins. It seems to work fairly well for me, even though it's not as integrated as I'd like. But it does illustrate the flexibility available. I don't feel particularly tied in to any of these solutions. The main constraint is "where does a google search for the project land me?" > I wonder if that's even allowed on those services. Good point -- I've never looked at the terms of use. -Dom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
