Which has two big disadvantages:
1. the main idea will be publicly available (but that's not the
biggest drawback)

This will be true when you are done anyway.

Yes, but then it is done and will be ready to be sold.

2. the code needs to be released when done - which is not going to
happen. This may be a hobby project, but it's not open source.

If it is truely a hobby project why can it not be done open source?

It's a hobby project, but should it evolve into something we'd like to be
able to sell it. You can't sell stuff you've already thrown away.

If these are really concerns of yours you are probably going to have
to host it yourself or pay someone else to host it.

I'm beginning to fear for it. On the other hand, we could also just use
SF and remove the project upon 99% completion. I'll have to have a look
at their TOS etc...

Thanks,
