It's probably fine, but just to have it publicly written somewhere: The extension already has a MediaWiki extension page and the extension's listed author is currently not in the bluespice Gerrit group. Nonetheless, the extension page links to the hallowelt github account for code, so it seems there is some connection. Just to be paranoid about avoiding an unfriendly takeover of the extension ... the original extension maintainer is cool with you continuing the development, right? --QChrisNonWMF (talk) 21:02, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Chris, thanks for asking. As the author i agree with the development takeover. --Ljonka (talk) 08:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 * (1) This should go under analytics/wmde/WD/ (2) please just initialize an empty repository (3) My bad: this was previously created as /analytics/wmde/Wiktionary/WD_percentUsageDashboard, but it should not go there; could you remove /analytics/wmde/Wiktionary/WD_percentUsageDashboard? Thank you and my apologies.
 * /analytics/wmde/Wiktionary/WD_percentUsageDashboard has been (possibly prematurely) removed. Me and Addshore are a bit confused about the name suggested (seem to vary from the existing naming scheme of WMDE Dashboard projects - which might be inteded). We'll confirm with the requester over IRC. Leszek Manicki (WMDE) (talk) 11:56, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

The corresponding repos on GitHub and Phabricator's Diffusion still have the repo's original code. Should we drop them too? (Just to avoid accidentally nuking code that is still used, I'll only nuke them if you explicitly say so or otherwise once the above naming confusion has been clarified) --QChrisNonWMF (talk) 22:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge review

 * Will this code extend the already existing WebDAV extension or will it be a fresh new extension? If the former, I'll get the code imported for you. If the latter, we should find a new name for this extension to avoid confusion between the old and the new extension. --QChrisNonWMF (talk) 22:44, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually I wasn't aware of that extension. Thanks for the hint. But as it is unmaintained and the features are very similar (maybe even identical), I'd like to request the maintainership. Alternatively we could create it as "BlueSpiceWebDAV", even though it does not depend on BlueSpice.
 * Please create a new repo "WebDAV". See confirmation on T215757

 * you can disregard this request. I spoke with Aran again yesterday and he prefers to keep the code hosted at GitLab. So we'll work together on it there.

I'll have to check how to do that. MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I can handle the GitHub renaming once the initial replication is working. It is pretty easy to make a rename on the GitHub side that preserves replication from gerrit.
