Is there any hopes of them un-forking? I haven't followed those communities, not sure where such discussions might be happening. Also, thanks for noting this.

Also, thanks for noting this. I had the mental perception that Gogs had really been fully surpassed by Gitea, and I need to re-evaluate now. Thanks.

You had that perception for good reason: it had surpassed GoGS. But they're both moderately active projects so it's good to revaluate regularly.
- mi100hael 8y ago> Is there any hopes of them un-forking? Doubtful. IIRC it was somewhat of a hostile & opportunistic fork. The Gogs maintainer went on vacation or something and didn't reply to issues for a couple weeks so someone forked to Gitea and declared themselves the new mainline only for the Gogs maintainer to return and not appreciate the attempted usurpation.
- jhasse 8y agoI think it was more than a couple of weeks. Also before the fork the maintainer was asked multiple times to allow other contributors to become co-maintainer to reduce the bus factor.
- aleksi 8y agoSounds like Redmine / ChiliProject from a few years ago: https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_Fork https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Why_... ChiliProject is dead now, but Redmine continues to live on.
