Last week I attended and spoke about Servo's automation at GitHub Universe, which as the name implies is our code hosting platform's flagship event. The keynotes covered some new features that they've been rolling out through the year and plan to release in the near future. Long story short, they're slowly but surely building in most of the features that Servo has been implementing with bots in the past.
* Since July, they've supported first-time contributor badges - https://github.com/blog/2397-making-it-easier-to-grow-communities-on-github. This is basically the lite version of our Highfive's welcome message. * They're working on, though it's not released yet, a feature analogous to the file-watching we implement through Highfive. If you want to be notified on every PR that changes a given file in a repo that Highfive works on, you can add yourself at https://github.com/servo/highfive/blob/master/handlers/watchers/watchers.ini * The annual report, https://octoverse.github.com/, is out. Congratulations to Servo on being the 9th most discussed repo on GitHub! * They're making it easier for new contributors to find communities by giving special treatment to issues tagged "good first issue" and "help wanted". They're basically building a GitHub-wide tool analogous to our starters.servo.org. I've filed https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/18905 to discuss how we can take advantage of the free publicity from the special tags. - edunham _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list dev-servo@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
