I think we should stop saying this would replace fedorahosted or change fedorahosted directly. I think very likely we would want this to be a new service all it's own and those people who find the features it offers compelling could switch to using it or start new projects on it. :) I think some projects would really like the gitlab git handling and issues tracking would be enough for them. Others would prefer the current fedorahosted trac and download space and such. I could see gitlab also being much more used for incubating new projects and then when they are more stable they would also want a fedorahosted space for the other items. 2. we looked more at gitlab recently, and one difficult thing is that it's not so geared for public access. They did add a thing where it will now show a page for public repos with http cloning I think, but aside from that it's very set for all users to sign into it. https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/2549 There are patches around to add a 'guest' user that can look around and see things, but upstream doesn't wish to merge them. See: https://github.com/cjdelisle/gitboria.com/commit/61db393bfd4fc75c5f046f01b01c7f114f601426 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/12 Without those patches things are a bit strange for our use case. We want people to be able to view and see everything, even if they don't have an account. I'm not sure if we would want to carry those patches in our package or come up with some way with upstream to apply them conditionally or something. Someone suggested plugins ability could be used. Anyhow, just my thoughts... thanks for working on this! kevin
