This is only a decision to make if we decide a wiki is the best form for this information. >My concern in this case is that I think to avoid extra formalities, and >the practical existence of the Gitit codebase, I'm pushing toward >actually accepting the pros/cons/limitations of Gitit for now.

I also agree it seems reasonable that we would end up using Gitit in some form or another. We can figure out the details when we have a better idea of what we want from the system, from the user story work in OpenProject. _______________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/design
