Don't click on "Code" on the main page top navigation but on "Contributions" (was up-front earlier, seems to be hidden below the ellipsis on the right now...). > (I think it would be better if "contrib" were part of the regular > source tree, just like libcob and cobc.

There's no fixed rule for this but it is still reasonable :-) "code" has copyrights FSF and GPL/LGP while "contrib" has only "any free license". "contrib" contains code that also works with other COBOL dialects (samples/tuturials/tools). Most of it doesn't has a minimal dependency for GnuCOBOL version N. The main reasons to split both repositories were: * different rights (anyone with "code" access can write to "contrib", but not vice versa) * different steps to get rights ("code" has copyright assignment, "contrib" has "just present your contribution in the discussion boards") * backup / restore considerations, considerations to move "code" to a different hoster and/or VCS (most likely git @ gitlab; you may want to comment/vote on [1] ;-) > --jkl [1] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/45007 Simon
