I apologise for not doing the weekly-update thing in a while, but
hopefully todays update makes up for it.
http://gitorious.org has now gotten a major facelift and some new
features. One of the things that I found increasingly hard on the
gitorious project itself (on gitorious) was keeping track of what
happened in the branches. Well, krawek spearheaded something called
events. It's taking a few notions from timelines in trac, basecamp and
our friends at github, making it much easier to follow along at home,
as seen here:
http://gitorious.org/projects/gitorious
The database of events is still rebuilding itself (and it's going to
take a while), but any new things will pop up in all projects from now
and (and the backlog will be filled over time). Big thanks to David A.
Cuadrado (krawek) for spearheading this effort.
But the most obvious change is probably the re-design, it a bit
cleaner and generally nicer-looking, it'll also give us some more
space to move in for upcoming features. Thanks to "event" changes
mentioned above, the dashboard and user pages are now a bit more
useful.
But there's still plenty of room for more, on the short term we'll
start exposing the git-clone stats we've been running for the past
week or so (eg, stats on who and what people clone from gitorious).
That also means the frontpage can get a bit more interesting with
popular/active projects instead of just a dumb list of the newest
projects...
As always, suggestions, wild ideas or bug reports are always welcome.
There's still lots of knows to twiddle :)
Again, thanks to all of you who use and not least contribute to Gitorious!
Enjoy!
