HI, James and I spoke briefly about the possibility of moving to Gitlab before the deprecation was announced. I would highly recommend that this is the channel we go down. Gitlab is a big project that is well established, open-source, and opens many tools that are not possible with Phabricator. For example, GitLab would allow online editing of the user manual and other repositories. I have identified the lack of online editing as a major deficit in the current development workflow for the user manual.
I would like to be included in the discussion here to make sure we meet the needs of the documentation project, we should also include James in this discussion as he might have other recommendations or needs.
