Hi Will, Just some feedback on some of your points. Thanks for the evaluation, it is very useful.
> * Project homepage > G.Code: http://code.google.com/p/freebase-suggest/ > Mozdev: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ > > G.Code by default is much cleaner. MyCroft has the prominent mozdev > sidebar which has nothing to do with the MyCroft project. This will > confuse most users coming to the site for the first time. > However, other mozdev projects have better homepages (webmail, ietab) It is very easy to turn off Mozdev branding and put whatever layout and styles on your project pages. All we ask is for a link back to mozdev.org? http://webmail.mozdev.org/ as you cited is a good example. Does G.Code allow for such deep customisation? > * mailing lists: (I need two: user + dev) > G.Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/firebug (different project) > Mozdev: http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/mycroft/ > Google Groups archive is _much_ easier to search than pipermail. I > also like ability to star a post (rather than reply with "me-too") Getting indexed on Google Groups is something we have wanted to do for a long time. See: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1642 > * bug reporting > G.Code: http://code.google.com/p/mobilefinder/issues/entry > Mozdev: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=mycroft > > G.Code issue tracker is much more user-friendly than Bugzilla. There > is no chance my users would use Bugzilla, there's a small chance they > would use Google's Issue Tracker. BZ is a logical choice for us because of the Mozilla link. Many project owners provide alternative avenues for feedback and bug reporting, but in general BZ works well for many. > * SVN > G.Code: yes > Mozdev: no - (hopefully in a few weeks?) I am not sure about a few weeks, but it is the #1 priority right now. > For now it seems like Google Code wins on every point except Secure Updates. > But I'd be very interested to hear feedback from other people. What did I > miss? I think if you look closer, you will find a lot of other features on Mozdev. For example, there is a Drupal installation with a wiki, forums, and other features that are available to all project owners. And the project stats page that is in the works will provide a lot of useful information. See: http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/blog/Project-overview-page > P.S. I appreciate the great work that goes into Mozdev.org, I hope you > find this feedback useful. Yes, thanks again. - Brian _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
