Hi all,

GitHub now supports adding profile pages to organizations, similarly to what was done for users a while ago (e.g. my profile: http://github.com/oleg-nenashev)

I have started a discussion about adding profile pages to GitHub org roots: https://community.jenkins.io/t/proposal-adding-profile-pages-to-github-orgs/578/4 . Would appreciate feedback from the community

Why? Currently https://github.com/jenkinsci looks pretty bad. We cannot even pin the key repositories (e.g. Jenkins core) due to whatever bug in GitHub that prevents us from doing so. It was raised to GitHub almost 1 year ago, no progress so far. The page does not provide much assistance for those who want to contribute and land on the org page.

How? See the community.jenkins.io thread

Best regards,
Oleg

Best regards,
Oleg

+1 to adding it,

I've added an example one to my test org copying Oleg's content: https://github.com/timja-org 

> We cannot even pin the key repositories 

Weird I tried setting it directly by messing with the request, it accepts it but doesn't actually do anything, I can add others just fine.
Only thing I could see different was the ID was a lot lower than others, maybe something to do with that int => long issue from a long time ago =/

Thanks
Tim
