Now that we're getting bigger and sharing more code on this site, I'd like to find something better than putting random files in discussion responses. Has anyone had enough experience with the various code repositories out there to recommend one that would work for our purposes? Most of the ones I've seen require you to use gnarly *nix command-line software tracking tools like QVC and git, which are too complicated for our purposes. Anything simple with a web interface that will just let us upload code and track versions, etc?

Hi everyone,
I have this nagging problem I've been trying to solve for the past 6 weeks. And that is how to simulate the optimisation of the integrated GPS/INS system with a Kalman using MATLAB. That is to demonstrate that the Kalman filter bounds the individual errors of the sensors (ie GPS and INS). Can anyone deliver me from this nightmare please!!!!
Chris I've worked with many revision control systems. I highly recommend svn. It works on all platforms, and does indeed work from the command line for people like me. However there are many free and easy to use gui clients for it as well.
Some examples include tortiseSVN, which integrates with windows file explorer, or SmartSVN which is a java thick client.
For the web there are may web based clients that will front your repository like SVNServe.
SVN is also full of all the features you will need as things grow, like merging, branching, tagging, releases, etc.
I understand what you are looking for, SVN is accessible to the average person. Sourceforge is a great example, I use it from the web, from the command line, and from SmartSVN.... in fact you can just use sourceforge to host the repository.... diydrones would still be the home page for the project etc...
I use smartSVN as a standalone client it works great, Intellij, and even eclipse has svn integrated right in...
I recommend staying away from CVS... it was a good tool years back... but it had shortcomings... SVN works really well
Google Code seems to be a very easy to use code repository. At least for windows, there is a client called TortoiseSVN that integrates all the functionality you need right into windows explorer. No need for any command line stuff.
I suppose TortoiseSVN will work with any SVN, but Google Code's simple, straight-forward setup seems to complement it well for keeping everything accessible to those of us who don't code for a living.
Sourceforget has an SVN feature. CVS never really worked. They've made it harder to manage & they'll be making it harder in the future because everything they try gets broken into. It's a free version of a commercial collab suite, so of course it's going to be unreliable & hard to use.

I think that you could create a google code project to store code by platform.
arduino
nxt
...
etc
cheers
I would also suggest something like Trac for basic task management and a wiki.
Assembla can host all of this for us for free.

Google Code is also a viable option.
