Is this what Radicle is designed for?
> Radicle is a decentralized code collaboration network built on open protocols . It enables developers to collaborate on code without relying on trusted intermediaries. Radicle was designed to provide similar functionality to centralized code collaboration platforms — or "forges" — while retaining Git’s peer-to-peer nature, building on what made distributed version control so powerful in the first place.

- duskwuff 5y agoNo, that looks like some kind of cryptocurrency nonsense. It's not clear that they even have a working product, let alone one which would be appropriate for the Linux kernel. (The discussion of a "decentralized" development model seems particularly strange, and completely at odds with how kernel development works.)
- viraptor 5y agoHold your crypto bashing for a moment. Basic Radicle features do not rely on the blockchain at all. The ethereum extras are only for things like for name reservation and organisation management. (And for project development funding) The product itself exists and is usable in a very basic form for a while now. (You can download it from https://radicle.xyz https://radicle.xyz) It's not complete though and definitely not ready for the kernel's use case at the moment.
- viraptor 5y agoKind of - it's closer to the mailing list workflow than GitHub. However the automation integration is not in place yet in any form, which this article is mostly about. Maybe in a couple of years.
