The goal is to explain deeply the philosophy, the commands and subcommands, workflows, etc. And also to aggregate headlines of the git world, follow events and announce git releases. For the latter, it's a bit hard (for a non core developer) to follow the development. From your point of view, how we could set up a roadmap and a "what's new"? [1] http://blog.gitfr.net [2] 100% free, with 50 attendees for the first workshop, 70 for the second! -- Sebastien Douche Twitter: @sdouche (agile, lean, python, git, open source) ``` ## Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, 2010-11-16 13:38 Subject: Re: Git roadmap (How read What's cooking in git.git) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTim4FOixgxUjv24o9gTNqK3DWafmpNtDVMA%2BPS9d%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 13:53, Sebastien Douche wrote: > I'm starting a french blog[1] on git to support workshops[2].

Projects that have a "Roadmap" are usually the ones that have paid developers, where someone will centrally plan what things get worked on. Then assign developers to those tasks. Git is a free software project. So it can't have a "Roadmap" in the same sense. What we'll end up implementing is a function of what patches people send, and which of those patches end up passing review and get into git.git. You can get something like a roadmap just by following what people are working on, and asking them what they want to do next. ``` ## Sebastien Douche, 2010-11-18 01:55 Subject: Re: Git roadmap (How read What's cooking in git.git) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTikDyxUWBnCzxRNA9MzBmr0LrqDb1ggNjOTc%3D7DR%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 14:38, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote: Hi Ævar, thank you for your response. > Projects that have a "Roadmap" are usually the ones that have paid > developers, where someone will centrally plan what things get worked > on. Then assign developers to those tasks. It's a bit surprising that you (the core devs) haven't any ideas on the future versions. But roadmap is maybe a misleading word, I talk to leverage a bit the visibility of the project for users. It's not a major point, "what's cooking" is a nice overview (understand it is a different kettle of fish). > What we'll end up implementing is a function of what patches people > send, and which of those patches end up passing review and get into > git.git. Cool. > You can get something like a roadmap just by following what people are > working on, and asking them what they want to do next. Understood. I will make it. BTW, congrats. Git is a wonderful piece of software. -- Sebastien Douche Twitter: @sdouche (agile, lean, python, git, open source) ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2010-11-18 14:05 Subject: Re: Git roadmap (How read What's cooking in git.git) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3ipzu682o.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: ``` Sebastien Douche writes: > I'm starting a french blog[1] on git to support workshops[2].

I will make it. Any chance you can revive the "Git Chronicles" [1]? Junio is too busy to update it (see his reply in [1]). I'm sure it would be really appreciated.

If a found a translator, I would be happy to create a englsh version. Cheers. -- Sebastien Douche Twitter: @sdouche (agile, lean, python, git, open source) ```
