Google said yesterday (http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl? Sid = 06/07/27/1833251) to use its search engine to serve the open-source community, we made an open-source project hosting. But Stein also said he liked SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/index.php) and didn't want to compete for a project. They just want to provide a simple platform. Any project created on Google code cannot be named again on SourceForge to avoid conflicts. Unless the project owner in SourceForge has discussed with SourceForge. This protects against competition with SourceForge.
Google said that its hosting will be much simpler than SourceForge, and many features on SourceForge will not be available. They try to provide developers with something simple. Therefore, they mainly target small projects, and certainly do not reject large projects. Haha.
This stuff has not been completed yet, but it can be accessed on the Internet.
