Wow, that's quiet a long journey. Congrats, robin.

We have now replaced the old GitLab instance totally and all went very smoothly.

We love the custom fields in issues, the feature helps us a lot when defining our issue process. I think it can also replace our JIRA instance. I do have lots of thoughts when working with OneDev and will absolutely let you know soon.

Thanks, Robin! SSH is just what I want! I'll upgrade onedev this weekend and let you know. Onedev is just really awesome.

It looks very nice. The UI is very intuitive. It's very intelligent to search commits or symbols with the help of dropdown wizard everywhere, cool!

I'm very interested in the built-in CI system, especially you mentioned that no yaml files to write. Actually, it's very painful for me to write yaml files for GitLab. Just want to know is there any plan to build a cloud based service like GitHub or GitLab? We just don't want to manage the instance ourselves.

I love this feature: source browsing with cross reference. It's fantastic. I hope GitHub can also provide this long time ago, but it seems that they are too slow to add new features.

Now, most of the git products provide one-stop project management features, such as issues, discussions, docs, continuous integrations, any plan to add those features in GitPlex?

I built this because I saw a lot of projects using mailing list as their discussion board, and a lot of projects set up forums themselves, including a lot of famous projects like Atom, React, Vue, even GitHub itself set up a discourse as their forum.

We can't stop a user to use GitHub issues to ask questions, or discuss features, but to me, it is not a good place. So I hope I can build a discussion service for those projects to set up their forum easier when they don't want to use issues as the alternative. But the fact is, may be, just like you said, issues is 'good enough'?

Sigh, GitQ means Mr. GitHub's Questions site :)

I started to think about this project before 2014 and bought the domain in early 2014 maybe and started then, so can I say this also does not apply?

Actually, it's too early to think about this. Now, I'm just wondering why I got so little points and how can I get the post to be on the HN home page so it can get enough focus? Is there anyway to attract more people to the GitQ? Is this project useful enough for the open source community?

To use or not to use a name is not as important as the idea itself, actually.

That's why we build this service and hope that we can provide the best discussion service for the open source communities.
