GitLab, open source github clone, reaches 3.0

Are you serious? Fossil's docs have been "embedded docs" for quite a long time now. Even the main page is served from a file within trunk (this is the url / redirects to):

http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

For the issue tracker: just try to report an issue (without logging in with a dev account). It has been very long time now that Fossil is accepting issue reports only through email. It's quite an ironic thing to do for a project that's providing an issue tracker, isn't it?

So, is that the wiki or not the wiki? It says wiki...

I think you're only telling me things that sound like they've been done to prevent spam or addition of spammy content.

I get that a file in the trunk is not the wiki. There is a real wiki, with web browser controls, and it's not what they're using. But it says wiki, and if you're trying to edit it but not a Fossil developer, you're probably doing it wrong... you should have your own Fossil repo/server.

I'll admit I did not try to submit an issue, and I'm not using Fossil right now. I just use Git. My users don't want the timeline on their homepage. shrug

As I said, this is a file from trunk. It says wiki, because .wiki is the file extension for wiki-formatted files. Which you typeset in almost plain HTML, but that's another story.

And, actually, I am a Fossil developer. Or at least a whiner with a dev account. Believe me, I know what I'm whining about.

Finally, Fossil is not for homepages. I guess your devs like having a timeline on their Github...
