Archive projects on Google Code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are many source codes of good projects that was abandoned and which are 
not going to be moved to GitHub, but still usefull for education and even usage 
in commercial software.

If you will delete everything you will destroy so much of code that helped and 
could help IT world better.

I know that project cost money, but i dont think that if you will turn it into 
unsupported READ-ONLY archive state, it will be costy.

I mean close service for usage and leave it without support, fine, BUT PLEASE 
DONT DELETE CODE!

Maybe instead of pushing users to migrate code on their own you can make a deal 
with GitHub and move remaining code (that was not moved by users) to github for 
achival purposes?

Just please, do something to preserve code!

By removing every code base of unexported project you just slapping open source 
community faces that trusted you Google, and you hurting open source movement, 
it it quite unethical move to give home to projects and then just delete them, 
simply because original authors forgot about them or have not time to deal with 
exporting.

Many people have expressed concerns about the long-term archival and storage of 
Google Code projects. We aren't ready to make any sort of announcement, but I 
can say it is something we are actively working on.
