Hi Ted,
Looking after our students and their potential for jobs is a really good thing to do. Thank you for looking into the problem ted.
I *think* we're a lot more entrentched with GitLab, and it's stature is such that I don't percieve a direct threat to our team workflows by having a github mirror.
Although I would like the following things:
* An automatic script to answer posted issues pointing them to gitlab and closing the issue. * An automatic script to answer any pull request, pointing them to gitlab and closing the pull request.
Aside: Somewhere I'd like a report from both GitLab and if so, GitHub, about forks with changes less than half a year old. Sometimes people make changes and never submit them, thinking them not good enough and it can be a good source of changes and potential contributors.
But, this should probably go to the developer meeting in two days too: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Howdy folks,
I was looking at our repo on Github, and frankly, I like it. But, I know for some employers they're rating potential employees on their Github profiles (I don't agree with this, but it happens) and so not having the commits in Github reduces the exposure for that work. This probably effects our "interns" from Google SoC and Outreachy the most.
For reference: https://github.com/inkscape/inkscape The problem we've had in the past is that when we had the repo on Github, people would fork it and create Pull Requests that no one would see or triage. Which would frustrate folks (understandably) and look poor on the project.
The idea that I had is that we take the Inkscape repo, and we make a branch "github" that has the same README and graphic that is currently up on Github. We push the full Inkscape repo, but then set the default visible branch to the "github" branch. So anyone going to the repository sees exactly the same thing.
Github doesn't seem to have a mechanism for disabling PRs, or forks. So we're relying on people actually reading the text. But I was curious what folks thought about the idea.
