I systematically turn off Gitlab MR support for projects I am involved in, because I am not confortable and efficient using it myself, it is additional work for me to tune into (there is more to it than getting notification about MRs pending!), and I already have a workflow that works well for me and the teams I work with. This is similar to my turning off Gitlab issue tracking. And not using webforums and Matrix and Jabber and Diaspora and and and all the places where potential helpers may be waiting for me to reach out to them. I do want to collaborate. Sincerely! I would have wanted that Debian reached out to me on Jabber when many years ago - they didn't and I had to do more work to get a text-chat experience with my peers. I try hard to turn off any and all features except core git hosting. Did same for Alioth, and am disappointed that features are enabled by default putting pressure on me to change working habits. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
