And just how good you can see in the burndown chart and issue lists at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/ops/milestones/1

The main issue we still have is with issues, pun intended.  Migrating
our Alioth Tracker Items[1] has turned out to be a bit cumbersome but
I'm making good progress with a website scraper to at least fetch all
Tracker Item content before Alioth goes off-line.

Allan has requested our mailing lists to be migrated and I rsync the
project's home directory just in case.

For what it's worth, I did update our website to point to the GitLab
repositories and issues.  If you find anything wrong in that area,
please submit an issue at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/website/issues

Anyway, thanks for letting us know!  And hope this helps,

Dear Laura,

Thank you for the information and thanks to Olaf we're already in the process of
moving to gitlab: https://gitlab.com/sane-project

Although not all issues we have with the movement are solved, the project is on
a good way.

Best regards,
  Gerhard

Thanks for working in making scanning easy!

Yesterday I happened to be in the need of downloading and compiling
sane-backends in a Debian box, and realised that you (upstream project) use
Debian's Alioth for the development management (repos, mailing lists, bug
tracker, maybe more).

I don't know if you are aware that Alioth is deprecated, it will be shutdown in
May 2018 probably, and all the Debian contributors and upstream projects that
use its infrastructure should consider migrating the different services to
another place.

Please have a look at this wiki page:

https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/

in order to see the alternatives for the different components of Alioth  and
take the corresponding measures.

Best regards
