Yup! Looks good. (I read the whole thread, but this seemed like best message to which to reply. I think Jungle-Boogie's comment about being able to accept directly from the UI for things like text updates would be great... but it could be added later.) Will need a bit of documentation to help

First post. Hi! I've been lurking along, following the discussion here. Common thread is a desire for 'more fossil'. I'm in this camp myself. But I see the attraction of the core fossil application. It works perfectly for a fairly close-knit community, and it follows a philosophy that's been

It looks good to me. Actually, implementation details doesn’t really matter as long as it’s easy to contributors to push a “pull-request” (however we call it), easy for admins to check it (being able to do it also via the UI would be very nice) and accept or refuse it, and if it doesn’t make
