Consider migrating to gnome-integration-team? about firefox-gnome-theme HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks, I'm glad you like my theme and I appreciate your help.

Thank you for your invitation. I think I could move the repo to GNOME Integration Team if it helps and I could definitely use some help with resolving all those issues people reported, but I'm not familiar with organizations here and I'd like to understand what I'm about to do before I do it. I just read GitHub's help topics related to those organizations and I'm a bit confused. How does an organization help with teamwork? I already have pull requests and a bug tracker (issues) here, I could give you push access to this repo if you wanna help, so you can contribute directly, instead of creating pull requests. Is there anything I'm missing by not joining an organization? Just by reading GitHub's help it looks like there isn't anything useful I don't already have. The only difference seems to be some extra management options available only for the repo owner and I don't think they are really useful unless you run a business, since normal repos have contributors too.

As for my implementation (the userChrome.css file), I realize it's kinda a hack, but it works. If Mozilla decides to include everything we need in their theme API, we can always switch to their API. For now I'm glad anything works, because I already lost some of my extensions and I don't want the GNOME theme to be one of them. The WebExtension API lacks some features too, so not all extensions can be ported. Firefox 57 really was a disaster when it comes to customizability, but maybe it was a necessary one. I hope it recovers soon, as Mozilla fixes all those new bugs and extends their APIs.

I think there's some visibility benefit to have efforts visible in one place, however that works, in order to get maximum momentum behind this stuff. Whether that's having it be part of that team, or whether having this project linked to from their README or whatever, I don't know.

The guy working on Firefox CSD stuff is linked to Red Hat (hence Fedora's patched version and now backported upstream CSD stuff) - it would be useful to try and get his involvement as well.

Ideally all this stuff would become upstreamed somehow/as much as possible. For instance, getting Moz to extend their theming API, getting scrollbars fixed upstream etc. I'm guessing they won't be interested in a native GNOME look being upstreamed since they're big on "look as brand". There may also be concerns about abuse of theming capability, I don't know.

But the more there's one loud group of people pushing that, the more likely it is, compared to a bunch of people in different places individually agitating for what they'll then consider "niche" stuff.
