Best site for Open-Source-Projects

[jamirokwai]

Hi there,

I'd like to open-source some of my PureBasic-projects which I won't develop any further (for many reasons .
Maybe someone has some ideas or the patience to extend them... I'd appreciate!

I do development on my MacBook, so please keep that in mind when suggesting and, or commenting on this topic...

I need a simple (!) to use website - better a Mac OS X-binary. I only want to have one account, but put several projects on. Binary-upload should be possible for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. I'd also like to grant write access to some people interested in extending the code, possibly also adding some of their abandoned, but open-sourced projects.

So my question is, if anyone has any experience with some of these:

- Google Code
- GitHub (made me crazy while trying to open the account - is there some nice WORKING GUI for the Mac?)
- SourceForge
- ??

Thanks in advance

sourceforge is good.
I hear good things about google code, but I haven't personally used it.

I mostly just keep things on my own website as I release the code, but that's a hassle too...it's always better to use someone else's resources.

I would probably use sourceforge.

I use google code because I can use Mercurial as the respository access

Interesting idea, but a pile of work, I suppose...
Of course, it'd be great to have the PB-community extended with an opensource-part, accessible under purebasic.com, etc...
Someone has to implement, maintain, and look after. Fred and team won't have the time, I suppose

You have indefero : http://www.indefero.net/.

Just use a free php template to set it up. E.g. a joomla template has already all the admin, users, upload, etc. etc.
Ask Fred what would be the best webspace next to the PB host. Every PB coder can post it´s own project on it.
The only work there is, is to keep an eye on the quality of the posts/projects.

It would be really better to keep this a PB community sourceforge, instead of all kinds of projects
running loose on the net.

Maybe you could also ask Andre about it being on PureArea.
I assume he is still maintaining the site?
