I've just finished a mini-project (a graphical 2d silverlight tag cloud) and I've made the source code available on my website as a zip file - but where should I put the code to allow people to find it and evolve it if they wish? codeplex? but I guess this would count as an inactive project?
at what point do I decide to put it on something like github?, otherwise these repositories will be full of pet projects that are not that interesting..

Use it as soon as you start writing. git's a good SCM. Let others (google included) decide if it's interesting or not.

vote +1 for google code. github has limited to Git and free 100mb space only ;)

http://www.codeplex.com/ This is run by Microsoft, which should be a fine match with Silverlight.

It depends upon what you plan to do.
- If you want to share the code with the world and open it to large cooperation, definitely go github
- If you want to setup a nice web site, with a complete community with mailing lists, and a selected number of authorized contributors, go sourceforge.
- Alternatively, you could use one of the sourceforge-like : google code, codeplex, savannah, berlios...
