Dear Puyu, Thank you for this feedback. We are in the early stage of this discussion so it's really good to get your input and especially details like this. Personally, in other projects I only use github but this is often not looked on as a good practice in academic circles because of its business interest etc. Therefore the suggestion has been for gitlab which is already adopted by FORTH for managing aspects of CIDOC CRM versioning. The features are very comparable regarding issues etc. and the main thing is easy access for all and visibility of threads / lack of cut paste and repeat errors etc. I believe the version that FORTH uses is self hosted but we will have to wait for them to jump in and say. If it were, does that solve the problem of accessibility from mainland China or would that be a problem? (we certainly don't want to create such a barrier!)
