What's wrong with Google Code? I'm not telling that it is decent in any way, but it is usable. The repository hosting is there, the wiki is there, some sort of issue-tracking is there. And, if I were a Google employee, I'd rather use my companies code hosting than some others, because what if those lot get interested in founding a tea-shop?
I know. I dont want everything to be in GitHub either. It could even be BitBucket. The point is Google Code is so terrible that i refuse to even look at it for more then a minutes.
It shows that the original code was Foxit's so would that mean that Foxit released the code or did Google purchase code rights and then decided to open source? Anyways, why would they host it on Google code?
That is the point. If Foxit opened it up then they deserve some credit. Otherwise the web is going to publish this as another Google PR without acknowledging their work.

Why did they close down something like Google Reader and Not Google Code Hosting? Do anyone actually use it?
I wish they could either make Google Code decent or simply kill it and use GitHub instead.
Is this a new implementation? Of did Foxit release it as Open Source?

Even codeplex is better than google code. I really hope they either make the switch or improve it.
Google code is heavily used internally at Google.
Not everything should move to GitHub (although i prefer GitHub also)
