Hi, 

During last year I have been working for a little company in Madrid. During this time, I have been working in a GUI for boxbackup-0.10 with (C++, QT4). However, project was halted and we never released it as a service. Here is the result:

https://launchpad.net/adelin-backup

Although it has been released as a free software project (GPL+BSD), it is written to automatically work with the company (adelin) servers, and use the company advertising system.

However, I have continued development in my free time without commiting changes the project page. Now there is a system tray agent to check boxbackup client status, better wizards and english translation is in progress.

Last month the company went out of bussiness, and I asked my boss if I could mantain the project as a free software project. He said ok, GPL+BSD license, but he will keep project copyright.

I would like to open the project to community, so everyone can use the program with their servers and without advertising. Therefore I'll relaunch the project in another place.. Any suggestions about project hosting? Do you believe google-code is ok?  

Thank you in advance
