Is it SourceForge or Google Code?

I recently wrote a little thingCodePut it online. The first thing that comes to mind is Google Code. There is nothing to say about it. The interface is simple and easy to use.

The SVN server speed is good, and the slag speed on the campus network can also reach 40 K/s. I think it is a bit difficult to use it, because I carefully studied SourceForge and thought it was also good, a bit like moving it to SourceForge.

But the speed of SourceForge is a bit tangled, and there are full screen English... It looks a little difficult. In addition, the interface for creating a project has been changed, which is a bit of a cloud deployment. (You can switch to the old interface to create a project ).

After a careful comparison, I felt that the two had their own advantages and disadvantages. I wrote a blog post just as I felt. On the one hand, I would like to give a reference to later people, and on the other hand, I would like to hear the opinions of other friends.

1. Google Code

Advantages:

* No suspense and fast speed. Especially for SVN servers, it feels great to submit code.

* The interface is simple and can be competent for an extremely general level of English.

* Easy to use and quick experience.

Disadvantages:

* The features are weak and the general requirements are normal. However, the svn permission division and Wiki support are not very strong.

* No statistics. Although Google Code collects statistics on its own products, I think Google Analytics conducts website statistics, does not collect statistics on SVN databases, and does not separate statistics on downloads.

* The stability is not good enough. Sometimes it cannot be accessed. (I think it's shield)

2. SourceForge

Advantages:

* The old-fashioned, user base, and various operations and management methods have all passed the test of time.

* Function services will be provided as long as you can think of them. If you don't have them, you can find them in hosted apps.

* Provides a web space for more casual performance.

Disadvantages:

* It is difficult to get started because of its rich functions.

* Speed, speed, sometimes a little slow.

 

In fact, in my opinion, Google code can be used as a simple solution. In particular, your project itself has a website or something, and the insufficient functions can be configured by yourself. Occasionally inaccessible.

If you need powerful functions and can accept slow speeds, we recommend SourceForge.

I have set up a project on both of them to monitor the on-line rate for several days. The result is as follows:

Failure to access Google Code usually takes several minutes.
