Let me know your thoughts on bespin and google code 

Mozilla Bespin + Subversion = wow!

when mozilla first launched bespin - a browser based text editor - i was interested but a number of required features were still lacking

now that bespin supports various version control systems ( Subversion, Mercurial, and more on the way ) its well on the way to becoming a very useful coding text editor

bespin can now checkout and commit changes to your SVN or Hg repo

was is this useful ?
- being able to work (edit, add, delete files ) with SVN via a browser is a killer feature - making bespin the perfect alternative text editor when you're not on your normal PC
- no need to setup svn, eclipse, vi etc.. on each PC you work on - just set it up in bespin and you can access it from anywhere !!

if you havent checked out bespin from mozilla labs i suggest you take a look
