Dear Bahodir, dear everyone,
I have just done what you suggested thanks. How long does it usually
take
to get a project on gerrit? Should we use some github repo until
then?
What about the vagrant role? I saw a list of them:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant/Roles and it seems
that
NOT every extension has a vagrent role. Do we need this? If so where
do we
apply for that?
Also I forgot to mention that quite a while ago we esablished the
phabricator tag
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mooc-interface/
does
it make sense to continue using this one or should it be renamed to
MOOC?
best Rene
