We thought this was a great idea, and have been experimenting with a new Facebook group dedicated to patch discussion and review. The new group provides a dramatically improved development workflow, including: * One click patch or comment approval * Comments enhanced with pictures and video * Who has seen your patches and comments * Searchable index of past submissions * A strong community without anonymous flames To help capture the group discussion in the final patch submission, we suggest adding a Liked-by: tag to commits that have been through group review. To use the new group, please join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/linuxpatches/ Once you've joined, you can post patches in the group, or email patches to [email protected] -chrisNACK! I do not have facebook and I do not like patches to be discussed behind my back. On the mailing list we don't even want HTML with bold lettered words so no thanks facebook adds nothing Please obliterate this bad idea. (And I do not have Facebook shares or care to)
It's always hard to move on to new technologies. But at some point we have to recognize that the internet has developed a rich culture that the kernel community isn't taking full advantage of.
I certainly don't expect everyone to convert right away, but there's a whole world out there beyond port 25.
