Hi, This project has done a big change in its infrastructure and it's normal to hit sharp corners at the beginning. Looking at how the transition has gone for the rest of MediaWiki / Wikimedia projects you can be quite confident that the change is worth. The type of discussions you are havin

I need to say something important, fortunately we didn't loose xqt, he (or she) was on vacation for one week. xqt said if the problem of git won't be solved, he (or she) will abandon participating in pywikibot, but main problem got solved and we are happy to have him :) about the migration: it's a

Dr. Trigon, thanks for the resume. I think I will follow this idea and do checkouts with SVN via github, and try to return to develeoper community at a later stage. However, tha lack of me as a developer is quite unimportant compared to the lack of xqt which is a basic problem for our community. Th

I use compat on labs, my local computer for development, and an old box that I use as a webserver. Two of those three all run windows, I actually use a process that migrates from git to svn for all code thats being used. I have found both the stuff that has been recently added to compat and git to

For what it's worth. I was ready to give up on Git with php dev until I started using the IDE, Eclipse, as my "local" version control of my repo with the Git plugin. IMO, the interface of Git for windows is garbage and the syntax isn't as user friendly or intuitive as it could be. I uninstalled
