This is great news as Gitolite was the one thing that prevented me from giving Gitlab a try.

What are the minimum requirements for a light Gitlab installation? I can't find any recommendations on the site.

The thought of deploying Gitlab on a Linode 512 for $20 a month with virtually unlimited private repositories is very exciting.

I really want to give this a go but would like to have it set up to shadow the state of our repos in Github. Anyone have any experience with doing this? Also, when will the docs be updated to reflect the obviation of gitolite?

For a big team you might want something else, but it's possible to configure two repos as one "remote" so that a push goes to both:

We don't have minimum requirements. We run GitLab.com with 3000+ users on a moderate (c1.medium, 1.7 GiB) instance. I think you will do fine with GitLab 5.0 and the 512 Linode. Might have to tune the default parameters a bit to have less processes running.

Just yesterday our workplace gained an interest in setting up Gitlab- can we still use our existing Gitolite install, or do we now have to migrate to Gitlab-shell?

We've been extremely happy with gitolite, and I do not see us moving off of that software.

In order to run GitLab w/o any tweaks you need 1GB Linode. You can start it on 512 but you need to setup unicorn to use only 1 worker and you need at least 200MB of swap

I think its hilarious that all the Gitlab development is occurring on Github.

We're pragmatic about the development of GitLab. A lot of people want public projects, it is the most popular request for GitLab http://gitlab.uservoice.com/forums/176466-general/suggestion...

Public projects and the need to add every single developer to every single project they needed access to (no concept of teams) were the main reasons we moved from Gitlab to Github Enterprise

I don't think it's possible to use Gitolite with GitLab >= 5
