It was thus said that the Great Liam once stated:
I did find the GitLab move strange. IMO it's not very "mission coherent"

develop a lightweight alternative to the web on a site that shows a

First off, as Stéphane has pointed out, people (and it was many people,
by
the way) were complaining about all the talk on the mailing list. The
mailing list was created *to talk about the Gemini protocol* and to hash
the
details out. Perhaps that wasn't stated strongly enough on the sign up
page, but I do have to wonder what other people expectd out the list.
Personally, I never found the volumn overwhelming, but then again, I've
been
on lists that have had 100+ messages per day, sustained (and a person high
of 500 messages in a single day).

I completely disagree with participation without an account. I'm sorry,
but my experience with Gemini has shown that it's all too easy to bitch
about it than to do anything about it. That IRI thing? As far as I know,
only *two* people (and I'm one of them) actually bothered implementing IRI
support, just to see how difficult it was. TWO! There are way more than
TWO people who demand IRIs, and about an equal number who decry IRIs, and
out of this lot, only TWO people bothered to try, and right now, between
those two peple, 50% are ready to dump the idea into the dumpster fire out
back (for the record, I'm that 50%), because the two camps are mostly
talking about theory. Anyway, to get back onto the point---if you want to
bitch about Gemini, I think it's fair to have some skin, however minimal,
in
the game. If setting up an account is too much, tough!

You don't need an account to follow the gitlab issues. You just can't
comment on them without an account.

I *think* I implemented/tested/tried the IRI thing and I'm thinking thatI'm not in the group-size-two that you referred to.
The sentence I just wrote is *not* my point - I'm totally cool with theabove (what I and you and others wrote/expressed) - my point is... I wasthinking...
If I *thought* I tried out the IRI thing, but wanted to check, where wouldI go? What would I test? How would I 'certify'?
If I wanted to be a part of the discussion in atrying-to-implement-this-new-experiment way, what should I do?
I'm guessing that maybe an email to the list or a comment on a gitlab issueto the effect of: "I think this is what it means to test out the IRI thing.I think I did it, you can try out my implementation like this..."
That feels... good to me...
