KDE can indeed be a non-aging project without GitHub, I never meant to imply otherwise. This is not an all or nothing situation. I'm in favor of improving recruiting through other channels as well. But I believe a GitHub mirror with the option of pull requests can contribute to growth, and I'm in favor of using it for this reason. -- Teo Mrnjavac http://teom.org | [email protected] _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
