Hi Dawid, sorry for not being able to contribute to this project. In addition to a chronic lack of spare time, for sure the knowledge of Bugzilla/Gerrit/GIT/Jenkins is a bit of a barrier for newcomers... I committed a couple of changes a while back, and if I had to do that again today it'd take me an hour or two just to remember how to do that. If compared to the standard GitHub flow (clone + create a pull request), contributing to PDT it very over-complicated IMHO.
Furthermore, being on GitHub gives more visibility to the project, and integrating with GitHub Actions to do tests is a real pleasure. So, I'm 100% for moving to GitHub... -- Michele Il giorno lun 27 gen 2020 alle ore 15:03 Dawid Pakuła <zu...@w3des.net> ha scritto: > Hi, > > Couple days I opened thread for Handly migration.
