…Two very important features for me are still lacking:
1. Somehow, Web-interface forges are against user autonomy principle.
In order to allow user autonomy, web-interface forges must work on
standard API and standard protocol. Without standard, it’s a dead
end. It’s not sustainable to work on some clients. How many years
of Git{Hub,Lab}? How many clients?
2. It’s hard to deal with the tracker without being online.
As far I have tried, I need to be online for interacting and so I
cannot batch: fetch some issues, process them offline, push my
comments at once.
All that said, such discussion about “email workflow” makes me think it
underlines an important point about Guix: it appears so easy to patch
that the only focus remains on the patch submission. That’s a good
thing! :-)
Cheers,
