I don't believe it requires Github, especially given that Gitlab itself
has listings on there that point to their own gitlab instance :)

In my understanding, up-for-grabs.net requires projects to use the
proprietary Github.com service for issue tracking.
GNOME does not use Github for issue tracking but gitlab.gnome.org.
Please correct me if I misunderstood.

Thanks,

up-for-grabs.net for newcomers initiative

2019-10-01 Thread Gaurav Agrawal 
Hi All,

I am writing this email to introduce you all with a new sub initiative
under newcomers initiative.

I would like to call this one "up-for-grabs.net initiative".

Description: Up for grabs is a really popular open source website, where
most of the newcomers come to hunt projects based on their skills set and
taste.

Our newcomers projects are already having a great attention thanks to our
wiki, but the issue with that is you reach to newcomers wiki when you
specifically search which says something like "What are newcomer projects
in GNOME" ? , then you reach to that wiki.

Up for grabs can give us more reach in that regard, because here people
will not search for organizations but rather on their skills and related
areas.

*So, I am proposing to list our projects on up for grabs website by raising
MRs to them,  for this purpose I seek advice and approval of maintainers
and specially maintainers of newcomers projects. *

Please respond for following 2 important points :
1. Is it fine to list your project ?
2. If you are willing to list the project, what are some tags you might
want to mention for your project that will help newcomers get it in search
results , for example : GNOME, Java, vala, gtk3 , linux apps , ...

If you have any doubts and concerns about this idea/sub-initiative then
please feel free to raise, I would love to hear everyone's thought about
this.

*Note: I am hoping response from newcomers projects, but yes I think every
GNOME project is encouraged to express their views and interest. This is
one of the reasons to post it on desktop-devel list to reach other projects
also.

-best regards
Gaurav Agrawal
