Re: Savannah vs. Gitlab

[Alessandro Sangiuliano]

I think we should see what is the best choice for GNUstep making it to be accessible to users and developers as easy as we can, so:

- Github: fork code with a button; start a new repo with a button; easy management of merge request, not so bad in showing diffs; interesting plugins; maybe not so nice in bug tracking; it uses git that is OPEN SOURCE, you are not forced to use its proprietary front-end; it is probably the most used platform to host code; it is full of people; what we need absolutely… people!

- I never heard about Gitlab before, so I can’t talk about it.

- Savannah: Seems a place where requests take weeks before to be completed; it doesn’t have the Github features in managing repos and projects; it looks a bit abandoned; to contribute to a project a person has to ask for an account and then for  permissions. On github a person can fork the code, contribute to it, then does a merge request and project managers can accept it or just discard it in an easy way.

I vote for Github.

All,

I have had the request open on savannah for many days to add the repos
to the project.   The first time I made the request I believe it was
prematurely closed and the second time it has sat for several days
with no action after giving savannah the list of repo names we want.

This kind of slowness is not really practical.   I want to propose
that we move to another site other than savannah as the
savannah-hackers do not seem up to the task of supporting us.

The recent suggestion has been gitlab.com.   This site provides us
with an open source/free interface as well as the tools we need.
Github, I think is still important, though since it is widely known
and used.

Does anyone have any strong feelings one way or the other.  I realize
we decided on Savannah, but given how long it is taking them to
respond I don't think Savannah is really the practical choice anymore,
thus the question of our new home is now, again, in question.
