Greg Stein announced at OSCON earlier today that Google are going to be doing free software project hosting. They'll supply a Subversion repository, backed by their Bigtable storage engine (rather than BDB or FSFS) plus a new, simplified bug tracker which uses good search and tagging as a substitute for having lots of fields, and of course a clean, AJAX-y interface. No further details yet...

Posted by: Todd at July 31, 2006 3:08 PMI think it's interesting that it arrived at the same time as a proposal to make Bugzilla more complex by getting it to understand the notion of "branches" and to fork bugs or their fields for different branches. I'm sure there is a better way.
