[xmonad] What to do without Google Code

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

you might have heard the news: Google Code is going to shut down:

So we’ll have to start looking for an alternative bugtracker.

Greetings,

Hi Joachim,
there have been some messages stemming from a previous thread [1]
(which I almost lost due to unrelated title, so maybe for archive-cleanness'
sake the discussion could continue on this one?). A recap of the questions on
the table:

- Where to relocate the bug-tracker?
Mentioned: - hub.darcs.net (supports darcs, forks, issues)
- github.com (ubiquitus)
- phabricator.haskell.org (used by GHC)

- Should xmonad switch from darcs to git/mercurial?
Mentioned: - no (darcs is clear and easy)
- yes (git attracts more contributions)
- let's make a git mirror

- What about our patch review system?
Mentioned: - phabricator.haskell.org (GHC, more structured)
- leave it as it is, patches/discussions in the ML (crude
but working and with a clear review history)
- leave it as it it + something to monitor the ML, like
darcswatch (closed now!) or Patchwork (used by lkml/git)


Hope I didn't mangle other people's thoughts that much!
