Google Code is shutting down

[Aaron Meurer]

Thought people here might be interested to see that Google Code is
completely shutting down

I'm glad we transitioned completely away from it to GitHub.

That was interesting.
I never quite understood why anybody would start on Google Code since
Github was always so much better, but if Google Code predates Github,
then at that time a limited service would have been better than no
service at all.

Me too.
Though the transition deadline and the support offered are really
generous; I don't think we'd have broken into sweat to migrate.
But a self-selected deadline is always better than an externally-imposed
one.

Google Code predates GitHub. Also, before pull requests were invented
it wasn't completely clear that GitHub was superior.

The migration of the issue tracker was actually quite difficult, and I
have to give major kudos to Sergey for helping make it happen. This
was before Google Code had their own export tool, so we had to take
some existing one and modify it until it worked, and do lots of test
exports. And even then, all Google Code imported issues are formatted
with code blocks because that's the only way to be sure that GitHub
markdown formatting won't do anything to them.
