For the last 2 weeks I have (unsuccesfully) tried to migrate BillReminder from SourceForge to Google Code project hosting. I have filled out the web form to register a new project on Google Code, but since this project already exists in SourceForge, I have to go through an extra step where a message should be sent to the project lead (which happens to be me) requesting approval for this migration. The problem is that I always get a 500 page when I click on the submit button!
There is definitely something borked in this process, for when I first tried to go through this process, I would some times see a captcha box above the button… and sometimes I wouldn’t! Regardless of whether I saw (and obviously filled) the captcha field, I always ended up with the 500 error page.
Both of my emails to their google-code-hosting-reservations@googlegroups.com contact email have gone unanswered… No luck asking on #google at Freenode either. So… anyone from Google reading this post who can lend me a hand?

Try instead — it really rocks, and you can easily import old bugs and code branches. As a matter of fact, that has already been done: . Just ask to be handed over control of that project.
Uh, the URL’s got stripped. It’s http://launchpad.net
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for the feedback. You see, I already have BillReminder registered on Launchpad but I don’t want to switch to bzr… or host it there either. I really want to migrate it to Google code.
Cheers,
Og
Post a message to http://groups.google.com/group/google-code-hosting. They are pretty fast at handling such a thing.
Just out of curiosity, which browser were you trying registration with?
Hey Will,
I actually tried Epiphany (my default browser) but also tried Firefox 2.0.12, both under Linux. I have also asked a friend to do it using IE (Internet Explorer for Linux) with the same result.
Hi Ariya,
Going to post there right now.
Hi Ariya,
The discussion list seems to be either disabled or down: “Discussions aren’t available right now. We’re sorry. Try again shortly.”

I simply informed the members of the google code group and they finished the process for me
Why don´t you use launchpad?
hugs!
I’m not the best person, as I’m off on medical leave at the moment, but if posting in that google group doesn’t work for you, let me know. I work on the summer of code side of things, but I know all the folks in code hosting and can try to hunt someone down for you.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
André,
Because launchpad is TEH SUCK for projects! *hugs*! XD
