Google has just launched project hosting inside of its Google Code effort. The Google Code Project Hosting center allows any developer to create and host a new project powered by Google management and hosting tools.
The new service features a reworked backend for Subversion built on top of Google's Big Table file system. The robustness of Google's backend will power the code repository.
The site features a new issue-tracking system utilizing AJAX techniques for quick and responsive feedback for its users. The issue-tracking interface is similar to Gmail's table layout, and allows customization through open tag fields.
Developers on the site are required to have a Google Mail account but there is no approval process for new projects. Subversion repositories are limited to 100 MB in size.
