- [Marc] main repo size is getting huge: close to 3GB. I investigated and opened an issue: #11625. TL;DR the bulk of the repo's size is from the
gh-pagesbranch, that we use to publish our API documentation. Do we know if it's useful for anyone to keep the history of this branch (vs only keeping the latest version)? - [Jonas] Chinese Translation: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/discussions/10957#discussioncomment-3526367

- @theia/git extension uses a fork of dugite and related dugite-extra, both still hosted on the
theia-ideorg. It seems there is some maintenance to be done on these repos.- a long time ago we decided that the theia git extension should be moved out of the main repo. Now might be a good time to do that, or get rid of the git extension. Is anyone interested enough in the extension, to maintain it in a separate repo?
- [Jonas] This page is too long, I cannot edit it anymore :-)
- [Jonas] Milestones are not used at all at the moment, shall we use them?
