Gitlab News

Folks,

As you may have noticed, now that the ARM64 support is done (just
kidding), I've picked up the work on the Gitlab migration:

1. The Wiki has been moved to Gitlab, it's now at [1].  Existing URLs
   to the previous Wiki are redirected to the appropriate page. There
   are also separate Wikis for appdb, vkd3d and wine-staging, under
   their respective project pages.

   As part of the migration I've done some minor edits, but most of
   the Wiki is badly out-of-date, and could use some love. Help is
   welcome!  Check the Writers page [2] for details on how to
   contribute.

2. We are now hosting the Mono project on the WineHQ Gitlab [3].
   Please join me in welcoming the Mono developers to our community!

3. We have new hardware for the Gitlab server, which is now noticeably
   faster. Thanks to Jeremy Newman for setting this up!  This also
   made it possible to enable robots.txt again so that our content is
   indexed. The next step will be to install new hardware for the
   Gitlab runners to offer more CI bandwidth.
   
4. The Gitlab issue tracker is currently disabled because it was
   attracting too much spam. I'm going to re-enable it, first for use
   by Mono, and then ultimately also for Wine itself. To fight the
   spam I'm planning to add an explicit user verification step,
   modelled along the procedure used by Freedesktop.org [4].

5. As part of the new sign-up process, I think it would be a good idea
   to have an explicit Code of Conduct to spell out our expectations.

   Instead of reinventing the wheel, I propose that we adopt the
   Contributor Covenant [5] that many other projects (including Mono)
   are already using.
