If you're still using Google Code for any projects I'd really recommend moving it to another service at this point unless you have a compelling reason to stay.

If you're still using Google Code for any projects I'd really recommend moving it to another service at this point unless you have a compelling reason to stay. There's some good evidence at this point that's leading me to believe Google Code is next on the chopping block for dead Google services.
- ghostdiver 12y agoSorry, but I really like Google Code source browser with its awesome features like searching for definitions, instantiations, calls, declarations etc. GitHub is very poor on that matter.
- moab 12y agoHe wasn't saying google code was bad, just that it's likely the next service to be cut by our friends over at Google. Given that v8's moving, this is pretty reasonable prediction.

- Drakim 12y agoThat won't matter if Google Code disappears, none of those features will work then. That's what he is warning against.

- Aldo_MX 12y agoAlthough Google has earned a bad reputation by shutting down some of their services, I think this recommendation is simply FUD. 1. v8 is just a Google project. Their decisions doesn't represent the company as a whole. 2. They just changed the VCS. 3. When Google is going to shut down a service, they warn you several months in advance. Honestly, whether Google will shut down Google Code or not should not be a concern until they announce it officially...

- opk 12y agoGoogle code also makes it really hard to subscribe to projects mailing lists with a non-gmail e-mail. It is possible, you just have to know how to construct the subscribe message or get the maintainer to invite you.
