I'm personally more involved in projects using git these days, I am however not sure if this constitute grounds for shifting up platform of its own, but I'm curious what other's think. Mercurial has some great features (a reason e.g facebook: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/ uses it, although we don't exactly have a scaling issue) > (ii)(A) Should we continue to use bitbucket (it also supports git so > not dependent on (i)) or use another provider (if some of the questions > are regarding the UI of bitbucket / its use) (B) if not bitbucket, what > other alternative and why? Open question, I don't see an immediate reason to move except for group effects of most others using github so no need to have a new account. I don't necessarily see centralization as a good thing overall, nor do I like the github ToS > (iii) Should we submit patches to the mailing list for review instead > of using any platform's specific functionality? I do think we should use the mailing list more actively to get more involvement in the development; in particular with the low level of commits proper review can only be a good thing. This can likely also result in more complete commit message etc for individual commits with the discussion in email archives as reference. -- ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: https://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk ---------------------------- Public OpenPGP keyblock at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 ---------------------------- "In politics stupidity is not a handicap."
