[Dune-devel] GitLab Server issues

[Robert Klöfkorn]

Hi Simon,

I agree with you, that something has to be done.

This seems like the best solution for this problem. How easy is it to
install such a tool?

I think there is a general problem of how the workload for the entire
project is spread. This should be discussed in detail during the next
developer meeting.
