I agree 100%. Antoine, you mentioned that you're happy to answer questions in #mediawiki, and you pointed to some learning resources. That's a good start. Who is willing to compose and teach a few interactive tutorials, between now and March 21st, on how to use the new tools (including the points Diederik brought up about more advanced git topics like squash, bisect, cherry-pick, and rebase)? Antoine, are you volunteering? Chad wrote, of the arrows to next/previous diff: > I'd figured that out a little while ago. I guess it seemed a little more > obvious to me.

Who is willing to do this? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git would be a reasonable home for it. If we don't do things like this, then the migration will be more painful and frustrating for lots of developers. Let's set ourselves up for success. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
