It looks like some of these projects repos link to GitHub, while others are hosted on this new platform. Is this a signal that Google is moving away from GitHub, or something else entirely?

Edit: Ah, here's the relevant blog post: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/03/a-new-home-for-goo...

Website is beautiful. But actually not useful. It's better for programmers just browsing on GitHub.

No, we're deeply committed to continuing to release projects on Github.

That's great. Is this site more of a resource for Googlers, and for outsiders to understand the process? A lot of the information I'm reading seems to suggest that.

Yes to both. Googlers start as not-googlers, after all..

There's a lot of reasons to do this that go beyond recruiting not the least of which was our old site was getting super crufty..

Looks like they've got a whole section in their docs on how they use GitHub at Google: https://opensource.google.com/docs/github/

It just looks like a one-stop shop to increase discoverability of all of google's opensource project, including the ones not hosted on github, like ganeti[1]. Which is hosted on Google's own infra[2]
