Thanks, Madman! I am sure many people are looking forward to your code's debut. And as for Git, people rave about its flexibility (which does unfortunately come with a learning curve) -- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git links to our blog post, and https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access#Access_FAQ will help you get an account. (We're managing Git/Gerrit access via unified logins with Labsconsole on Wikimedia Labs.) -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
