The new enhancements seem very promising. We've been using gitlab for our internal use for a while now.

Having said that, every time a new gitlab release comes around, I always looks for updates in one area expectantly but mostly left unsatisfied. And that is, separation of the concept of Project from "one git repo"

E.g., I want to manage a project that ties in issues from various different git repositories. It's pretty common. Almost no actual "project" in a real life business is limited to just one git repo.

I want a system-wide wiki that collects knowledge about the entire operations. The idea that each wiki is tied to a particular git-repo is.. just... wrong.

Heck, even the new search feature across projects somehow doesn't include wiki's. How did that decision get made?

And so on and so forth.

One of the high level goals I set for this year is scaling up to projects that consist of more than a single repository.

That means CI that spans multiple projects [0], higher abstraction of issue management [1], formal relationships between issues [2] and more.

Having a global wiki or higher level wiki should also be part of that [3], I think.
