Google's "Summer of Code" results in webified SourceForge alternative?

What's the new project-hosting service on Google Code?
Our new hosting service offers a collaborative development environment that includes:
Project workspaces with simple membership controls
Version control via Subversion
Issue tracking
Mailing lists at groups.google.com

Who's the service for?
All open source developers. If you plan to start an open source project, we encourage you to create a project on Google Code.

Why is Google offering to host open source projects?
One of our goals is to encourage healthy, productive open source communities. Developers can always benefit from more choices in project hosting.

How is this project-hosting service related to Summer of Code?
Both are part of our larger initiative to support and encourage the development of open source software. Google Summer of Code projects may also be hosted on Google Code, should the student or mentor so wish.

seems pretty limited for now, but having a free webified issues-handling tool might be handy for some smaller OSS projects, etc...


...some examples help to clarify the features currently available...

If only I could use this but not be open source

Maybe it will be offered as a corp service later.. maybe like Gmail for Domains.
