I think we need to plan a separate contribution workflow without GitHub (see my other thread 'How to participate in Apache NetBeans without a GitHub account?').
Right now we are tied to GitHub and it's impossible to be involved in anything without jumping onto GitHub. There is a high change of some contributors avoiding NetBeans if we are GitHub-only. Demoting GitHub to a plain git remote is fine. We need to take care of PRs (code review / comments). --emi ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 7 June 2018 9:08 AM, Christian Lenz <christian.l...@gmx.net> wrote: > Do any of you know the plans of MS?
