Ok, that's giving us one point of reference. > I am sadly not quite up to the task of developing the codebase (maybe one > day), but I can help with systems/operational things if wanted. Our last infrastructure move suffered heavily from the people tasked with it not being acquainted and/or comfortable with the systems/operational things at hand. It was sort of a painful lesson, but at the current point of time it would appear that self-hosting an instance rather than having to rely on a tentatively "free" offering might be too optimistic for a project of LilyPond's size compared to the available manpower and knowledge. And Savannah, the GNU infrastructure, does not really have the sysadmin power to be part of a helpful solution either, even though we can host the naked Git repository there (and already do so). > (I don't have a view on the bigger discussion about process - the > change most likely to help me to contribute would be mentorship rather > than any process change). -- David Kastrup
