You may wonder why not hosting those projects on popular and free open source hosting solutions, like sourceforge, google code or javaforge?
The primary reason is that we were tired of the slowness of sourceforge, not really satisfied with the simplistic services provided by google code, and not enthusiast with javaforge look and feel.
Another reason is that we like learning new things, we like creating projects, and we like improving our development tools. Thus Xoocode is an attempt to develop new software development tools, and what better than self hosting to improve and communicate around your tools?
Xoocode.org is still in early development phase, and we don't even really what the future will be made of. But if you are interested to participate to the development of new tools based on sexy technologies, join our mailing lists, join the movement!
