Besides the ones you list there is one built into Gitorious: https://gitorious.org/mediawiki/mediawiki-trunk-phase3/trees/master When I talked with Ryan Lane about our git setup one of the things he mentioned was how with Labs it would be possible for me to setup Gitorious on Labs, puppetize it, and later have it pushed out to production. Since git is distributed there isn't much to setting up a new git ui. So later on it should be possible for anye of us to setup whatever other git ui we like and have it pushed out to production... heck, we could have as many as we want. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
