I think what he means is that you can actually design a site for your project and host it on Github. For example:

http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

Are there any non-google sites that do this on google code? As far as I can tell, all of them look like this:

http://code.google.com/p/waf/

Which is fine, but I'd hardly say that a new user would find that less daunting than the Homebrew page. There's a lot going on, and it's trying to cater to both people who want to use waf and people who want to work on waf.

yes, you can actually design a site for your project and host it on google code. directing your users to the gc-provided default is your choice.

the contents of your repositories are hosted available at projectname.googlecode.com, and you can serve HTML just like you can code. example: http://json-template.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/On-Design-...

the urls are not as nice but github's aren't great either.

Thanks, I didn't know that. They should publicize that feature so that more projects use it.

I still find Github's detached gh-pages branches to be really clever and convenient.
