A currently mostly empty draft is there:

https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-100.md

Yeah, edition 100!!!

Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition on Wednesday June 28th 2023!

Thanks!

By the way, were any students accepted to work on Git for Google Summer of Code 2023? There were no announcement in the previous edition...

chriscool commented

Yeah, some students have been accepted but I forgot to talk about this in the previous edition. I will write something in this edition. Thanks!

@chriscool I found some time to add details regarding selected GSoC contributors to this edition via MR #648. Hope that's fine :-)

Also, added interview with John Cai via ed591b7

@jnareb thanks for your links!

I think that the two links about GitLab Duo and GitHub Code Review are worth adding.

(Maybe you could also be interested in this GitLab Office Hours video about the Gitaly/Git team where I host a live coding session developing a small feature in Git: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INvu3C5oZWE)

@mjaix thanks for your fixes! They all look good to me.

@chriscool I have added both those 2 links, and the link to GitLab Office Hours video in 271e2e0 and 92bc8f9, respectively.

Short summary of those 11 responses to the Git Rev News Reader Survey in 3d060d1 .
Please check it for clarity, readability, and errors. Thanks in advance!

BTW. I can add more people to 'git' account on Survs.com (where the survey took place), if you want to analyze the result yourself. Or you can just read the report at https://survs.com/report/72cqt0sbjw, though it does not include the most interesting part (especially for the open-ended questions) - the actual responses. I can provide export of the result, in Excel, CSV, or SPSS format.

Regarding the survey suggestion "include a brief description of what is in the link", I am not 100% convinced that I understand what the contributor refers to - regarding the usage of links, my personal feeling is that we are operating at the right level.

I think the issue is that sometimes the title of the link (the text of the link) is not enough to tell what is in the linked article, if it would be worth following the link or not. A sentence clarifying what is in there can help - from time to time I have had added such descriptions. But it takes effort and time...

Reviewed the user survey report

Thank you very much, @mjaix - much appreciated.

chriscool commented

@jnareb thanks for adding the 2 links and the link to the GitLab Office Hours video!

Thanks also for the summary of the first Survey results!

@mjaix thanks for the review of the survey report, thanks for changing the publication date to 2023-06-30, and thanks for moving the "Releases" section towards the end!

About changing the date, when doing that it's better to also do it in the "date: ..." metadata field too, as I just did in: dcd96fb

About moving the Releases section, it's better to also change it in the template which is in the getreleases repo like I just did in:
