Hi Maintainers, Are we still in a feature freeze? At the start of June Bastien announced a feature freeze (Release 9.3.7). As we are now moving into September, I'm wondering if this is still in effect? I can't see any recent emails from Bastien either so I'm guessing he's just been snowed under with work. Just wondering because I have a few feature-y PRs which I'd like to put forward, such as: + my big =org-plot= thing + reworking ~org-html--build-meta-info~ + add KaTeX as an ~org-html-with-latex~ option + maybe revamp the html/latex default export settings/templates If we are still in a feature freeze, it would be nice if I could get an account on code.orgmode.org so I can fork org-mode and make some feature branches. All the best, Timothy.

Good guess :) I'm rolling up my sleeves to get to 9.4 ASAP so that we can commit features in the master branch again soonish. Still, you can share patches on the list, that's useful to discuss and improve them. > If we are still in a > feature freeze, it would be nice if I could get an account on > code.orgmode.org so I can fork org-mode and make some feature > branches. We do not use code.orgmode.org for collaborative development, we use this list instead. You can still create a clone of Org where you see fit. Thanks, -- Bastien
Hi Bastien! Great to see you back on the lists again :) Bastien <bzg@gnu.org> writes: > Good guess :) I'm rolling up my sleeves to get to 9.4 ASAP so that > we can commit features in the master branch again soonish. > > Still, you can share patches on the list, that's useful to discuss > and improve them. I won't hold back till 9.4 is released then, thanks for confirming the status. > We do not use code.orgmode.org for collaborative development, we > use this list instead.

I was going off a line in https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html "If you are undertaking big changes, please create a dedicated branch" I'm not sure if ~10 commits counted, but thought this may be the way to go. Once again, thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated! Timothy. p.s. If you'd like a TLDR on that website thread I started I'd happily attempt one. I just hope you don't find me too presumptions going as far as I have without having heard your thoughts on it.

Once again, thanks for clarifying. You're welcome -- I rephrased the sentence on worg a bit to avoid further confusion. > p.s.

Of course not! I really appreciate the time and efforts you put in this (daunting) task and I agree we should move on. I just hope it won't be too frustrating if I ask more changes or if we don't "buy" your solution entirely. I will carefully review it. Best, -- Bastien
Hello Bastien, Below I've included some quick (hopefully useful) notes on the changes I've made. Bastien <bzg@gnu.org> writes: >> p.s.

While there is the 60-odd email chain with all the relevant information, to hopefully make you life a little easier here's a little summary: + I've forked https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/orgweb to[fn:1] https://github.com/tecosaur/orgwebsite + The current state of the site (+ any unpushed changes) can be seen at https://orgmode.tecosaur.com/ + Technology changes: - now using SASS over CSS - static images are now (mostly) SVGs (thanks Cairo!) - brief screen-captures have been done as looping Gifs - jQuery has been removed - 'resources' (fonts, images, styles, js, html snippets) have been filed under ./resources + I've (re-)created the following pages: index, features, releases(changes), install, contribute, tools, and colophon + I've added documentation styling ripped from org-roam + I've added a bunch of 'social' meta-information (opengraph, twitter, and more). This should give nice embed content like: https://orgmode.tecosaur.com/resources/img/social-card.png I think that's all the main points. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about what/why I've done. I look forward to (finally :P) getting your feedback! Don't worry about frustrating me with change requests, I just may ask what lead you to make a particular request every now and then. All the best, I eagerly await your feedback :) Timothy. [fn:1] I've also used LFS for files like images, fonts, etc. I have since noticed that for LFS to work with Gogs you'll need to update the version to 0.12. This has also caused a re-write of the history, so a force push will be needed.
