We started out at sf.net and moved away. Don't know the reasons anymore, but there were some. :)

I have neither used Google Code nor Launchpad myself, so I cannot comment on their quality.

What's with the move away from subversion that you talked about in your email? I am still mainly using svn, but also trying out git. Launchpad seems to use Bazaar -- whatever that is!

So what are the advantages of Launchpad? One thing I can see is the Ubuntu build service, which would of course be nice.
