If I open source TileMax what is the best way to go about that? GoogleCode?

Depends on the license you wish to release it under too -- there are dozens of them. GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, Creative Commons, Public Domain, Freeware, etc. IIRC Googlecode only accepts code that it under certain licenses, not everything you throw at it.

You're spoilt for choice really. GoogleCode is really good and you can use either Subversion or Mercurial for version control. As mentioned there's GitHub if you want to use Git (I chose Mercurial over Git because it has pretty much the same features but has much better Windows support and is far less painful to use). Then there's SourceForge who support Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and CVS (*yuck* Don't touch CVS with a barge-pole). Even Microsoft are on the Open Source hosting bandwagon with their CodePlex site: http://www.codeplex.com/ Most of the sites have integrated Wikis, Issue Trackers and the ability to provide file downloads.
