I think its worthwhile to move forward as Jeroen proposed. In the
semantic-mediawiki.org site development documentation, we should just
direct SMW developers to use GH as their primary repo, and Gerrit is
primarily just used for i18n.
We have the benefit of being able to tap NYU-Poly MS CS candid
Hi,
One important thing Jeroen pointed out is :
"Most interest in SMW is coming from outside the core MediaWiki community,
and for them the current workflow is not only confusing, it is a big
hassle."
If this is true, then its one BIG reason to support GitHub - getting more
contributors.
My con
Hi Jeroen,
making a writable secondary copy on GitHub is fine. It first sounded as
it you wanted to abolish our gerrit repo completely (I think this is
what people have replied to). We can also discuss this, but that will

We already have multiple copies of the repo. Every clone is a copy of the
repo. GitHub will just be another copy. Furthermore there is little

Hi Jeroen,
thanks for your proposal. It's very useful to revisit our infrastructure
from time to time. Since people seem quite critical so far, we should

workflow, which is not all to surprising, I'll slightly alter and reframe

Hi,
Are there similar plans for the SMW-related extensions?
Wouldn't it be confusing if some work is on Gerrit (MW and many other
extensions) while SMW work is on Github?
I assume anyone who goes to the extent of submitting a patch to SMW would
also like to keep the master version of MW

Hey,
After discussions with the active contributors to the SMW project and
asking attendees at last weeks SMWCon, I'd like to propose moving SMW
development to GitHub.
