Since today, Virtual Treeview has found a new home (code-wise speaking). I moved the entire repository to Google Code and also added a branch for the current state (4.8), so we can continue developing new stuff, which might even break APIs in trunk, for a future 5.x release.

In addition to the new repository location there are now some features available, which weren't before. One of the biggest improvement is that the code is now indexed by Google and appears in searches. Additionally, there is a voting system for changes, that allows all users to participate in the development, even if they don't add code personally. The whole thing is flanked by an issue system, a wiki, e-mail notifications for changes and rss feeds.

Some might ask why I did not use Launchpad , given that I have already several projects there. The answer is simple: Launchpad uses Bazaar as underlying Source Code Management system, while Google has Subversion (the same what I use privately). Thus by moving to Launchpad, I would have forcd everybody working with the repository to start working with Bazaar. While this is rather a small annoyance (if at all, I do that every day), I did not want to prevent those who don't want that from working with the repository.
