Re: [platform-dev] Has the time come?

How about videos? The GitHub CEO's twitter gives a decent glimpse of their changelog and velocity: https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1365393828622921728?s=20

There's a broader problem of "vendors doing work for you" versus "every workflow improvement we ever get is something we debate and work for".

When I first adopted Eclipse, it was the beginning of e4, eclipse adopted Git and community contributions way ahead of the rest of the world. Since that quantum leap, the eclipse dev process has frozen in place, while each of its constituent parts was broken out into separate ecosystems of companies undergoing fierce competition with names like GitHub, CircleCI, Discourse, Gradle, becoming semi-winners in their respective domains. Projects who surf that ecosystem of suppliers get all kinds of improvements for free. Projects that maintain all their own infra have to debate and actively work to get each individual workflow improvement.

The upside is stability, but it only seems like stability on the inside. As an outsider who doesn't interact with Bugzilla and Gerrit very often, it feels like they change a lot year to year, although it's really that the broader ecosystem evolving while Bugzilla and https://www.eclipse.org/forums/ stays static.

Eclipse has a GUI, and it's really helpful to develop GUIs using a tool which allows inline images. GitHub PRs and issues work really well together.

It looks like Bugzilla can do that: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1472522 . Would you mind opening a bug to Eclipse Infrastructure asking whether this can be enabled on Eclipse Bugzilla instance?
