Migrate inkscape to gitlab.
- All bzr committers are eligible for gitlab commit access, but will need to place a request for access
- At least one dry run should be done, to ensure that revision history, branches, tags, etc. are successfully converted.
- Issues encountered with gitlab will be recorded, either in a dedicated bug tracker or just a simple 'complaints' web page.
- Transition of wiki pages can start as desired (see separate plan proposal).
- Bugs stay on LP for now
Note: I have a script that fixes up several discrepant author names and e-mails in the Bazaar history. The result of this script is here: https://github.com/tweenk/inkscape/ The script has a bunch of e-mail addresses in it, so it would probably be best to share it privately.
Outreach effort to bring in contributors
- Leverage our release marketing procedures and contacts
- Coordinate with GSoC, releases, hackfests
- Ensure we have reviewers/mentors on hand
Following the 0.93.0 release is a second checkpoint.
- Review the recorded issues encountered. Collect further feedback.
- How has use of gitlab affected contribution levels to the Inkscape codebase? If contribution levels have not grown then we need to reassess.
- All active users of the service are asked to give thumbs up/down on their experience using gitlab. If most everyone gives thumb's up, we will proceed and stick with gitlab at least until 1.0.0. Otherwise, we need to re-evaluate our plans.
- Plan follow-on work to investigate/address top issues.
Following the 1.0.0 release, we have another reassessment of all project technologies and services. cmake, git, gitlab, C++11, gtk3, and so on. We should then plan transitions from those to whatever is next, over the course of several 1.x releases.
If you've read this far - thanks! Feedback is most appreciated.
