There are some open source projects with a large user base taking the step to us, for example https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman

Regarding the three demands in the doc:

1. GitLab has issue templates in EE and on GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/28

2. GitLab has the award emoji function that doesn't spam and acts as a voting system https://about.gitlab.com/2015/11/22/gitlab-8-2-released/

3. We're open to displaying CONTRIBUTING.md more prominently, please open an issue on our public issue tracker that contains all our planned features https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues

I'll go sleep now but please ask any questions so I can respond tomorrow.

Yes, I already saw some of these.

Unfortunately, there's no Travis CI integration yet, which I've been using on GitHub a lot.

I'm evaluating GitLab CI right now. Am I right, that I have to host a runner myself if I don't want to use a shared runner for my project?

> You can setup as many runners as you need. Runners can be placed on separate users, servers, and even on your local machine.

Does "local machine" really mean a non-public machine like my notebook?

Appreciating help from GitLab's CEO :)

    We would love for Travis CI to offer support for GitLab, they can use our new commit status API.

    But you'll find that GitLab CI is a pretty complete replacement. If you don't want to use a shared runner you indeed have to use a shared runner.

    Running on your local machine can indeed include your notebook.
