Re: [Specto-devel] proposal: partial move to google code hosting

[Kiddo <nek...@gm...>]

There is still the problem of the google accounts. I do wonder, as
nobody else replied yet, if this could be a problem. There may be
people who don't want yet-another-account? Though to me it would sound
a bit surprising to not want a google account ;) it may be perceived
as a "devs are forced to go with a big company that owns a lot of
services", though I don't think it's much different than having to use
a sourceforge account. It would have the added advantage that
everybody could easily communicate with jabber, for those who don't
already have a jabber account.

Although I _assume_ that google's svn repos should be fast and
responsive, I am unsure we can use the same easy mechanism such as ssh
keys that allowed passwordless logins and commits on sourceforge. Any
idea if google's subversion does that Pascal?
(http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ssh-auth-cache). I have not
found anything about that in google's FAQ.
