I think not all dev are OK with that. Is it the case to cast a vote and
decide it one time for all?

This is why we should get a test instance running, so we can play with
it a bit and see if the workflow would fit us - or maybe there are some
alternative tools which are better.

Oliver had started experimenting with various tools, but I had no news
of his effort, I think for the last 2 years.


If the consensus is positive, and no one want to do it, then Haiku Inc.
could outsource this work to someone external, even a (non volunteering)
web developer. That's just an idea, but might work to get things moving
more more fast.

System administration is one of the tasks where long-term tracking of
things is the most needed. I'm not sure this can be done by a contractor
in a "fire and forget" way. Also, deploying the app is probably not that
hard, the problem is finding someone with access to our servers and the
time and motivation to do it. There is a difficult constraint here that
we don't want too much people doing admin work on the servers, yet it is
not reasonable to expect just one person to handle everything. We have
to find the right balance.
