Josef,
Interesting idea. I like it (but that is coming from ignorance).
I need to study the site.

I found the following project there
https://code.google.com/p/linref/
which seems to have been created by Oberon Microsystems
and refers to BlackBox on Linux.

        Hi Everybody,
         
        has there been any consideration of using 'Google Code' (https://code.google.com)
        for hosting the envisioned 'Blackbox Component Builder' project?
        It provides a choice of 3 version management systems (svn, mercurial, git)
        and includes an issue tracker and a project wiki.
         
        I have no personal experience with Google Code project hosting, but a first
        look at the features is compelling: it is completely free, fast, simple to use,
        mainstream, the project limits are way beyond our needs,
        and there is some hope that it will stay with us for a long time.
         
        I don't know how it handles binary files but I do know that Git has no problems with
        binary files because it works on binary files only. Diff and Merge tools are
        always a problem with binary files, but I guess this can be handled locally.
        Under Windows, for example, one can configre filters within TortoiseGit,
        the Windows Explorer plugin for working with Git.
