Glossary

This is a glossary of terms relevant to the MUSIC project and the IST-MUSIC portal. More terms will be added as the project over time.

Google code: Google code (http://code.google.com/hosting/) is a fairly recent alternative to Open Source project hosting, but has grown very fast in popularity. It is a very general purpose code repository, and consists mostly of small and personal projects. One single user can initially only create a maximum of 10 projects, and it is not specifically well suited for larger and multi-user projects such as MUSIC.
Google code does not fit properly the MUSIC needs because:
·         It is mainly targeted for individual users (MUSIC has multiple users)
·         It is mostly for small and stand-alone code projects (MUSIC has much code and depends on external packages to run too)
·         It has a very general audience/user base, MUSIC would benefit of having the code on a place with more similar projects.
·         It lacks features such as bug tracking/feature requests/ticketing (this can be accomplished with the wiki of course, but dedicated solutions are better).
