Dear Xfce users and contributors,
I would like to bring to your attention a change regarding registration on our GitLab instance.
Due to increased spam activity and Google making reCAPTCHA more difficult to use, we, the core developers, have decided to suspend new registrations until further notice.
New users can still create accounts via SSO, meaning a GitLab.com or GitHub account will be required for new contributors.
As a tentative measure, newly created users will no longer need to request fork permissions, we hope this helps lower the entry barrier.
This change is planned to take effect on **2025-02-15 (Saturday)**.
For more details, please refer to: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/gitlab_signup.
Cheers,Andre Miranda
