Online-Go.com (OGS) User Interface Open-Sourced

Reason for quite a few people to rejoice, I think …

The Online-Go.com user interface is now open source :-)

BTW, this is how https://github.com/online-go/online-go.com/issues looks like.

I’ve been following Go-related projects on github for quite a while now, perhaps a year or more. No, I’m not a coder, but I like to be informed …
And never in all this time have I ever seen that many incoming mails … nice to see how eager the OGS community is to help improving the game server, and awesome now to see how things are actually being done.

I think that the "Pull Requests" page is even more impressive.
The project was open sourced 5 or 6 days ago and there have been more than 50!!! pull requests by 9!!! different users (eyeballing the numbers).

For those of you who don't know what a pull request is: someone found a bug in the code and sent a fix that only needs to be accepted. I think this really shows that the community put their "money" where their mouth is.
