BerlisOS is Closing!
Dreamy:
I read whole wikipedia article and can't confirm this. To make a little quote:
--- Quote ---Other prominent projects using Launchpad for various aspects of managing their development include:
Drizzle
GNOME Do
Inkscape (bug tracking, code hosting)[6][7]
Linux Mint (bug tracking, blueprints, and translations)[8][9]
MySQL (code hosting)[10]
Pinta (bug tracking and translations)
Upstart
Zope 3 (bug tracking)[11]

Mmm this little article @ launchpad blog might also be interesting: http://blog.launchpad.net/general/welcome-to-berlios-projects
Also don't miss the tour: https://launchpad.net/+tour/index

No, svn-commit support, so it doesn't even qualify.
Nor it supports git, why would we want to choose bazaar, because they say it rocks?
If we switch to DVCS it will be 1. git or 2. mercurial.
Dreamy:
How does it support your "Launchpad is not a host like sf/berlios" thing?
Yeah I told since beginning that it's bazaar stuff. But you didn't mention
single word why it's any worse than mercurial or git... did ya?
Sometimes alternatives provide much better quality and results than the
mainstream stuff and eventually replace older stuff in mainstream, the
same as Code::Blocks is a great IDE and a great alternative to many
other, usually commercial IDEs and has potential to become mainstream.
As far as I know, Code::Blocks uses Ubuntu version numbering scheme,
why wouldn't it use its revision control system. :lol:
Also wxWidgets use GetText for translations so launchpad is the logical
place for any wxWidgets-based application translations.
Also migrating from BerliOS is as simple as few mouse clicks as you can see.
Not to mention how Code::Blocks development could be speeded up with
all the tools launchpad provides for teams. I don't think MySQL team would
use it if it would'nt satisfy all their needs.
Well, completly different possibility might be to host the whole thing on your own?
Personally I wouldn't like to see Code::Blocks on google code, it's a primitive tool
suitable only for single developer, with poor interface and having a Big Brother
always watching you from behind, breathing slowly on your neck.

It is not popular enough and there is no single person in the C::B team promoting it! We have one for Git.

We are a small team.

It is discussed, but no decision taken...

From what I've see it is a simplistic interface, in a google fashion. I doubt it is worse than berlios.
No-svn, nor-git support disqualifies Launchpad, sorry.
p.s. This is my opinion of course.
Dreamy:
Of course I do respect your opinion sir, but I worry others won't reconsider anything I said
even for a single second as you closed everything with a strong hammer. And I really hoped
to see more opinions as I'm deciding for/against launchpad for my personal future projects too.
