Please allow me to rant about Google Code for a minute.

1. It's hard to tell which projects are official Google projects and which aren't.

2. The total lack of real names is disturbing to me. e.g. look at http://code.google.com/u/imsnah/ -- it's completely useless.



1. Official Google projects have the "Google" label. http://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:Google


Not quite: projects written by Googlers have the 'Google' label, which is unusable by normals.

Official Google products are not hosted as normal 'projects': the URLs are code.google.com/product or code.google.com/apis/product instead of code.google.com/p/project.


I stand corrected.


I would like to think that Google Code really should not call out whether a project is an official Google project. Ideally all open source projects would live and die on their own merits.
