I agree with Rob that changing Gerrit or Gitorious or
Gitlab is not
something that we should get undertake lightly. In my opinion, it is
more realistic to evaluate the tools as they exist today, with maybe mostly
minor changes and small features that MW developers could
contribute towards. Larger changes might require more dedicated
developer resources and would also take time.
Subbu.
OT: I also noticed some Ruby concerns on this thread. Except Gerrit, 4 of
the
other
5 candidates (Github, Gitorious, Gitlab, and Barkeep)
are all written in
Ruby (on Rails
possibly). Ruby performance has improved over the
years for all 3
implementations
(MRI, Rubinius, and JRuby). JRuby (Ruby implementation
on the JVM)
performance
especially has improved quite a lot over the last
couple years. Over the
last 3
years, I have been an active developer on JRuby and I
have also written
and maintained Rails apps. So, I am familiar with Ruby and am happy to
help with Ruby related issues.
I may also be able to help with some Ruby related coding if needed. Ruby
isn't my
best language by any means, but I've had to work with it (and Rails) a few
times.
Along with MediaWiki extensions my work often has me make Redmine Plugins.
Thank you,
Derric Atzrott
