Thirdly and lastly, about Gitlab. I strongly dislike the fact that
discussions which can have quite an impact on all Gemini users are
happening in Gitlab issues; to stay up-to-date on all these
requires regularly going through multiple webpages, and to comment
requires a Gitlab account! I think this is a mistake.
Agree, even with this one.
Group work is funny. When the discussion on the specification was on
the mailing list, everybody complained that it made a lot of messages,
that it was difficult to follow, to know for sure what was decided or
not, etc. (I did share some of these complaints but not all; many
problems were simply because some people do not use some features of
their email client, such as threading and full-text search.) Nobody
defended the mailing list and asked for the specification discussion
to remain there.
I think that was because nobody (or at least not many people) had the idea toever switch to another system. The mailing list seemed to be the chosen systemby Solderpunk at the time so nobody questioned it. And since it is pretty easyto find a point that makes you not like something, switching was bound to makesome people unhappy.
That said, I want to do some complaining too, hoping that somebody has asolution: Imagine that as with the mailing list before, I (only) want to readall the discussions without going through all the separate issue pages (I thinkthat's what PJ vM was trying to point out). I found that Gitlab provides anatom feed[1], which I hoped would do exactly what I wanted. But there areseveral problems with it:
a) It is not a valid atom feed [2].b) It seems that it only contains the first comment of each issue and to follow the discussion, I once again have to go through all the pages.
I hope that I was just too stupid to find the link that lets me look at allcomments in a feed format. Or if Gitlab does not provide that, maybe someonecan build a thing that lets us do that. I think that would be really helpful.
