Hi, I'm working on the Jami team, thank you for the PR, your work is really appreciated ! 🤩
However this is a Github mirror. Please upload to the main project here: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/jami-daemon

[8go]

Ok, I tried.

I created an account, logged in, set up 2FA, recovrey codes, etc, etc.

Then I tried to fork jami-daemon repo. And it gave error:

Limit reached You cannot create projects in your personal namespace. Contact your GitLab administrator.

I am not paying for gitlab. Is that why? How can I fork?

On the main repo page "Fork" is grayed out, disabled? That is where one usually creates the fork, no?

Since that did not work, I clicked the "0" next to the "grayed-out Fork" button. A page listing zero forks comes up.
On this page there is a blue "Fork" button that is enabled.
There I click and get the above error.

If I cannot fork obviously I cannot submit the PR.

Any ideas?

On my https://git.jami.net/dashboard/projects account I cannot see a way to create a simple dummy project.

This account cannot create a repo? Hence it cannot fork?

I logged in with "github" and then followed all steps to create an account with everythin including access tokens.

I could raise an "issue" on your repo.

Hi, this message just to let you know I'll look on this monday. 👍

[8go]

Thank you.

On another topic, just FYI, I wrote a simple and incomplete CLI tool in Python.
See https://github.com/8go/jami-commander/

The advantage is that the tool is packaged via pip install jami-commander and hence easy for newcomers to install and run.

Is there a discussion page on git.jami.net or somewhere where you feel it would be appropriate and beneficial to post/publicize?

you want to use review.jami.net, not gitlab's jami. GitLab is also a mirror.

Then I tried to fork jami-daemon repo.

jami-daemon is a repository hosted on a private GitLab instance git.jami.net.
You cannot create any project on this server. I think you don't need to.

GitLab is also a mirror.

Yep, sorry, you have to submit changes via Gerrit (review.jami.net). See https://docs.jami.net/en_US/developer/new-developers/working-with-gerrit.html

[8go]

All correct.

review.jami.net was the answer. The PR shows up there now. Thank you.

I will close this PR here on github now.
