[Wikitech-l] Is the current system too difficult for volunteer developers?

Have you wondered how GiGeGat [1] works for volunteer developers if even paid developers have difficulties with it? We have already seen cases where it works, but we don't know much about the cases where volunteers decide to give up. Here, however, is one example [2] of the latter which I want to highlight. The developer finds it too slow and complicated and wants to move to GitHub and as consequence we cannot provide translation services for his extensions at translatewiki.net. Anyone willing to dig deeper what problems there are and try to resolve them? -Niklas [1] My favorite abbreviation for Git, Gerrit and Gated trunk [2] http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Add_MediaWiki_Extensions_from_… -- Niklas Laxström
