Just an idea: How about if we had a mcclim repo on Github somewhere that tracked all the main branches of ongoing development? So it would have e.g. master branch, scymtym's branch, clime branch, dot branch, etc, and keep them up to date e.g. with automatic mirroring. that way you could keep your "finger on the pulse" by watching what gets pushed to branches on that repo

I find that I'm losing sync a little e.g. I'm living on the clime branch which is falling behind the master branch and doesn't have the dot branch changes that I want etc.

maybe I should just make an integration branch that merges all the stuff I want but then it can be a chore to switch back and forth between that and the "clime" feature branch when hacking on that, and I couldn't pull changes like the scymtym ones that are interesting and I want to be aware of but don't merge cleanly onto the mainline branch

lukego: you may track individual repositories by selecting "watch repository" (the same goes for people)

you may also check the repository graph via github user interface (click "forks" and you'll see the tree, there are other views at commit data)

the only thing missing from things you describe is the "integration branch", but that requires a separate maintanance effort, so you'd need to find a person who does that

The other thing that's missing is discovery, in the sense of being a logical place to look for where the community is. Perhaps keeping https://cliki.net/CLIM and https://cliki.net/McCLIM fully up to date would help

Something that could help with discovery is asking for people to open Draft PRs on Github early on in the development of their feature
