Hi all,
I don't know if you're aware of it, but SWTBot Git repository as a
mirror at GitHub: https://github.com/eclipse/swtbot . We originally
created it just because "GitHub is nice".
However, having a repo at GitHub has a major pitfall: people who only
know GitHub will use Pull Requests (PR) to contribute. However, GitHub
PR are not monitored by any of the contributors AFAIK, and I wouldn't
want to force anyone to monitor it (additionally to forum, ML, Bugzilla
& Gerrit). So there is a risk of someone submitting a PR and no-one
noticing it. The consequence is that:
* project looks inactive
* project misses a contribution
Both are totally not acceptable for SWTBot (and any community project in
general).
So I'd like to get rid of this mirror, and let people who want to
contribute go through a quick research first and find the
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Contributing page which tells them the
official media for contributions.
Committers, please +1 or -1 this. If we get more than 3 "+1"s then I'll
ask Eclipse Foundation folks to remove this mirror.
Cheers,
