Where would you put your new open-source .NET project?

I'm currently working on a .NET project that I will probably make open source.

There are lots of places to put it though, anyone have any experience for a friction-less effort? Codeplex? Google-code?

Note: I prefer Subversion for the projects source-control.

Solution

  • Google code is my favorite. It has similar powerful simplicity and reliability just like other products from the Gmail.

    I would not recommend SourceForge to anyone. Reasons:

    • Version control is slow
    • If you wire up integration server to their version control, they may ban your IP just for pinging version control frequently
    • UI is horrible and hard to navigate. You don't want to lose users just because of that.

    CodePlex is better than SourceForge, but it still has more development friction that I would like to have.
