How about a combination of both? We use Google Code as a point of entry for user: - Release - Mailing List - Wiki - Bug Tracking and use github as development repo, so we could all have our own private branch that you could pull and push. Or maybe we could use Google Code SVN as a mirror for official branches. Anybody here an expert in git-svn? Is it possible to use it like that?
