link Other

  • jquery-license now looks at all names for a given email address and outputs errors for “neglected” authors; remaining tasks are posting a comment on unsigned new PRs and checking for broken clones
  • Good progress on js-reporters, implementing adapters and infrastructure to test those. Still looking for feedback on proposed event data. gitter
    • nice for the GitHub integration
    • makes cross-project collaboration harder unless everyone uses it
    • Maybe we can improve our GitHub integration on IRC instead? Timmy to look into that
