Awesome. I hope this is fairly straightforward to roll out. I've tried out Gitorious and iirc it was pretty messy.

mattdebord and estel: I'm one of the core Gitorious committers. What specifically did you find messy? The initial setup or GUI/UX? Honest question, as we're constantly trying to prioritize based on the painpoints of users. :)

BTW we've recently addressed the complicated manual setup with a new, automated installer that gets you set up within 30 minutes: http://getgitorious.com/installer

Also, a new and improved UI is due to arrive in Gitorious soon: http://blog.gitorious.org/2012/08/21/sexy-looking-repositori...

All feedback is very welcome.

I just setup a local Gitorious install this weekend. Really nice to see this planned advance in the UX.

It's been quite a long while for me, so I couldn't be more specific for you. My recollection is that it was very complex, that's really all I've got.

We're currently running Gitorious and it's definitely incredibly messy. I'm tempted to try and "migrate" to Gitlab.

You are definitely not the only one one ... I too am using Gitorious, but I would definitely agree with messy and having looked at alternatives.
