And just how good you can see in the burndown chart and issue lists at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/ops/milestones/1

The main issue we still have is with issues, pun intended.  Migrating
our Alioth Tracker Items[1] has turned out to be a bit cumbersome but
I'm making good progress with a website scraper to at least fetch all
Tracker Item content before Alioth goes off-line.

Allan has requested our mailing lists to be migrated and I rsync the
project's home directory just in case.

For what it's worth, I did update our website to point to the GitLab
repositories and issues.  If you find anything wrong in that area,
please submit an issue at

Anyway, thanks for letting us know!  And hope this helps,
