[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Wikipedia iOS app moving to GH

sorry, didn't hit reply-all. (these lists aren't a subset of each other, are they?) Also, we're losing IRC notifications, but that should be easy enough to add back via fastlane. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Gerstle &lt;bgerstle(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 12:59 PM Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikipedia iOS app moving to GH To: Wikimedia developers &lt;wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; I have no problem with that, as long as everyone with +2 keeps his access This should already be the case for the main iOS engineers, but I've made a ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106547> to make sure people don't slip through the cracks. Oh, and when Phabricator ticket sync is something we're sad to lose, but it's part of the trade-off we're making. That said, it was only slightly beneficial as we relied more on cards being in a "Code Review" column (w/ a WIP limit) than looking at the gerrit updates on the cards themselves (which aren't visible from the board view). Not that GH will make this any easier, but we're not losing too much here, IMHO.
