agreed. Especially we should do this when release happens.
I merged his latest commits too.

try command

  grep github . -irn --exclude ChangeLog --color

there are still  some mentions of github in documentation.

I don't know anything about the searchbox yet.

agreed.

yes.

I would prefer stable branch and tags. But it doesn't matter that
much. We can do "as usual", no problem ;)

Although it would be nice if we deleted stale branches on

  https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk/branches/stale

not all of them. Just those which are no longer needed. But still we
have a backup copy here (if its ever needed):

  https://gitlab.com/yade-dev/trunk-exp/branches/stale

I ask about this for a very simple reason: so that the command

  git branch -a

is easier to read.

let's postpone it one or two days. I still didn't finish writing in
documentation the short descriptions of all examples :)
