In 2019 Julian Rüth and I, with the help of some others, already put in some effort to set up an organization for SageMath on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/sagemath Between GitHub and GitLab, we felt that the latter would be more acceptable to the broader Sage community. We also implemented a bot that can mirror GitLab merge requests as Trac tickets, though it's been in need of troubleshooting for a while. This was also done before the advent of GitHub Actions, and the ability to provide custom CI runners for GitLab Pipelines seemed advantageous, since we could maintain our own fleet of runners, be it on Sage developers' personal machines (if they are generous enough to host them) or any conceivable constellation of cloud computing platforms. In practice this has gained little traction, in part due to lack of advertising. The GitLab Runner solution also proved a bit troublesome to maintain, as it required some constant attention to make sure there were always working runners available. I tried to keep that up for a while myself, but have had other obligations. In the meantime Matthias and others have been doing really interesting things with GitHub Actions for our CI. For the time being GitHub is being *very* generous with computing time available to open source projects. Though I fear it's only a matter of time before Microsoft's investors come banging on the door, and they start putting in bigger limits for free users (as happened with Travis CI). I would still prefer the GitLab approach for a myriad of reasons, or a hybrid approach at least for the GitHub Actions stuff. It just needs to be better advertised, and there needs to be better instructions for where users and potential developers should go to open issues. As for the wiki I've always been in favor of dropping Moin Wiki and migrating the existing wiki pages to Trac (or to GitLab). Someone just has to do it, as is always the problem. > On Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 9:50:49 PM UTC+1 David Roe wrote: >> >> On Thu, Jan 7, 2021 at 3:49 PM Isuru Fernando <isu...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> It should be sagemath.zulipchat.com right?
