Switching to github has had quite some consequences as far as I have seen: - We started to do code review (which is nice and sometime annoying, because you have to wait for someone to review your changes) - We started using the git flow approach, which means that are repositories have an exploding number of branches (either still opened, old but not removed or in their history) - From what I saw, I think more people contribute to the projects in general but except for some code review, I still see mostly the same people as before - We (the team) have a pretty good place to see what's going on in the different projects, that's something I find nice So to answer your question, I cannot say I have seen many new comers, but more contributions from people within the team. Others might have a different experience though :) (Suddenly I remember rube which had a number of contributors outside of the standard team as well as fedmsg, but that one was already on github) Pierre _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
