Neither do I. Perhaps Markus has some points? And I'm sure that the
student's can determine when the code is working and when it is not.

That is true... and daily commits is something I think is mandatory for
the collaboration in SoC, just to be able to track the student progress.
So in that light I think that perhaps the code.google.com repository
might be the place. Another option I assume could be the addons svn, but
I'm not sure if people will like that either since it has also some
email commit log thing...

I think that read access can be given to the whole world. So yeah
anybody should be able to get any code from there. I also think that
they give a web-access just like in sourceforge.
