Yay! Our importer will import not only your repo but also your issues, PR's and wiki.
Re: GitLab 8.9 released
#43It's fantastic for us that Gitlab keeps putting pressure on Github. I hope they keep this strike for a long time. Having said that, they really must improve the performance. I tried to make the switch from Github to Gitlab a couple of months ago, but the general speed and responsiveness is just below the line. Keep up the good work.
Try again in a few months and it should be a lot better, lots of work has been going into improving performance across the board, e.g. this week we've had two pretty big changes: https://www.scribd.com/doc/316471059/GitLab-Infrastructure-2... and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/4802 :)
Just want to say thanks for your work! Looking at these slides I really appreciate the openness and the effort you put into gitlab. I'm running a small instance and it's been a total hassle-free experience so far, every issue I had was documented or had a ticket with details to figure it out!
Your education pricing is also stellar, once I got more users I'll look into migrating to EE (at the moment CE+CI is more than fine).
Was happy to see 8.9 downloading on apt upgrade today, not a lot of project updates induce such a reaction, it's usually fear ;) but gitlab never broke on me!
Okay, this comment starts to sound like some paid troll comment for cherishing you but I'm really happy.
Well one nitpick though: I'd love to see some love for the Wiki - it's usable but not up to scratch - asciidoc doesn't really work well and I'm missing something like recent changes and some page tree. I guess it's gollums fault but either better documentation for the workflows or improvements there would be very welcome! Having a great usable Wiki would set gitlab apart in a positive way IMHO.

In general we don't do features that are specific to a certain programming language. But I see the appeal of a npm/gem/apt/yum/jar server. Maybe someone will contribute it.

#46gitlab is gearing up to be the one-stop-shop from development to production. i really like that. unifying the toolset developers and ops have to understand is really a boon for everybody involved. merge restriction as a feature may sound silly, but in my experience, when driving organizations toward CI/CD, especially with "mature" organizations, having the computer say no instead of a human is a major facilitator in…
>merge restriction as a feature
Ability to enforce code review (allow users to approve merge requests but not push directly) has been demanded since 2014 [1] with no support from Gitlab. However, it looks like there's now a chance it's coming soon. [2]

Thanks for your kind words Nina. I'm glad you appreciate the openness, effort, education pricing and packaging.
The wiki is something we don't but enough effort in ourselves, it is not Gollum's fault. There are a lot of open issues for it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues?scope=all&sor...
We've been using static websites a lot ourselves instead of wiki's pages.gitlab.io
I would love for people to contribute wiki improvements. If you have questions on how to do this you can always ask Remy, our merge request coach.
I would like to promise more efforts from our side for the wiki but right now we don't have any plans, so I don't want to give false expectations.

Sure I can understand that it's not a priority but I don't think wiki and static pages have to exclusive - we have a lot of non-technical users and e.g. pushing a static version of the wiki to gitlab pages would ease creation of documentation, so users can use the editor and markdown and the preview to write the wiki and everything gets rendered into some nice static content.
It's basically what you can do now with a regular repository but sometimes it's nice to have docs and code separated.
I'll look into contributing, thanks for the link!

if locked code review is coming in, i'll be all over it. just let me select multiple approvals, and nested approvals.
it's an immensely useful feature. once again, the more i can define a process in software, the better it is for most non-western, non-modern-management companies.
