GIMP now hosted by GNOME on GitLab

Many projects are now migrating from github to #GitLab, this is not because GitHub is a bad service, it’s just because its being acquired by Microsoft.

GitLab Web IDE now open source

Useful for quick edits, maybe not a full featured IDE (I don’t know why it is called Web IDE instead of Web CodeEditor or something…) because it lacks of several features of the complete IDE, for instance you cannot do debugging in it, just an editor but still useful.

I like the idea that this “web IDE” is Open Source, is available for everyone and it will be integrated in many other parts of gitlab.
