Hi all!
If you've never created a repo or fork on the Wikimedia GitHub
organization you can skip this email.
I know that some repos are developed on our GitHub org for reasons.
What is developed on our GitHub org? How many things are actively
being developed on GitHub org? I have no idea :)
I recently realized that there's not a great way to figure this
out[0], but I've been able to narrow the scope a bit. Now I have a
list of repos that are (a) in our GitHub org and (b) not in our Gerrit
that I could use some help sorting through[1].
== Help, please ==
* Look through repos on The List™[1]
If your repos are on the list, for each of your repos either:
* Archive or Delete it if it's no longer maintained or empty/useless,
respectively (and remove them from the list on mw.org)[2]
Or:
* put a "{{tick}}" in the "Active" column on the list on mw.org
== Why==
In a more perfect future we could add the "mirror"[3] tag to repos on
GitHub that are mirrored from Gerrit (with a link to their canonical
repo locations; for example, gnome-deskop has this[4] and I'm very
jealous).
Hopefully, this will help folks wanting to contribute -- either a
Wikimedia GitHub repo is a mirror (in which case there's a link to
Gerrit in the description) or it's actively being developed on GitHub.
