[Etherlab-users] Why is there no Wiki or Forum?

Tue Sep 17 05:40:27 CEST 2024

There is already a wiki at https://gitlab.com/groups/etherlab.org/-/wikis/home, though there’s not much in it.

Hi all,

were there any improvements regarding a Wiki?

Greets,

Hello all,

today we discussed the different options of moving to another source

code hoster.

- One option is to stay at SourceForge and just enable the Wiki, issue

  tracker, and other capabilities there. Sources could stay

  Mercurial-revisioned. Git is also supported. Pros: Not much effort.

  Cons: SourceForge has gotten a little too commercial and overloaded.

- A next option is to move to GitHub. Repositories would have to be

  converted to Git. Pros: Widely used, stable and available platform.

  Cons: proprietary, monopoly, Microsoft (if that's of any interest

  ;-)).

- Another option: GitLab. Git would again be mandatory. Pros: Hosting

  software itself is open-source and you could run it on an own

  hardware. Cons: 'Smaller' than GitHub, thus less users.  Great is the

  possibility to clone the Wiki as Git repository. What you get is an

  directory of markdown files and resources. So you can easily back up

  the data and also edit the wiki data using merge requests etc. or even

  move the data to another hoster.

We actually prefer GitLab, because it seems to fit more to our

open-source strategy. I have created a group [1] for testing purposes. I

will fill it with data in the next days, so we can play around with it.

@Florian, how do you think about a dedicated DokuWiki and phpBB or Discourse?

I think it would perfectly fit into your domain etherlab.org, but I have no

influence on that.

Are there features you would miss in the GitLab wiki implementation?
