I do not want to sound like I am complaining, but a code.google.com seems to provide more than a site.google.com that is tailored to a open source effort. One I am pretty familiar with is http://code.google.com/p/javacl/ . Project – Downloads (with counts), Wiki, Issues for tracking, & source tabs. Seemed pretty good for free. You might already be set on having your own site, but just thought I would give you the benefit of an informed choice.
