Rejected. For one we do have history of the changes, but more importantly: Website editors are neither fluent in html, nor in git. If you want to create pages in plain html, you can use raw-html-mode and edit there/paste what you have. Using git for the website would only mean to: 1) lock out many editors that don't know anything about git nor html itself 2) would force us to either manually keep track of links or use another framework on top of git to manage links 3) would not allow us to use automatically created download pages and similar 4) wouldn't allow to easily manage the substies without either duplicating the whole thing for all the subsites or creating elaborate permission framework on top of the existing one. I certainly do not want to do that. Rather than just proposing to use git, point out what you think would be solved by that. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
