I think we need to hang tight and wait to see what the landscape looks like after the dust settles. There are a lot of people on different projects under the Clusterlabs group. To have them all move in coordination would NOT be easy. If we do move, we need to be certain that it's worth the hassle and that we're going to the right place. I don't think either of those can be met just now. Gitlab has had some well publicized, major problems in the past. No solution I know of is totally open, so it's a question of "picking your poison" which doesn't make a strong "move" argument. I vote to just hang tight, say for 3~6 months, then start a new thread to discuss further. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould _______________________________________________ Developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/developers
