That's a really interesting idea. There would be costs - We'd potentially be less discoverable for people forking the original. I'd have another place to check for interest potential forks (and therefore contributors).
I'll give it some thought.
- cookiecaper 4y agoIt's probably a good idea because some GitHub browser extensions will automatically hide forks from search results, under the assumption that basically all "forked" projects are drive-by patchjobs. I'm not sure this is stopping anyone who would be useful to OpenBrush, but maybe it is. Another good reason to defork is that, as we saw with the youtube-dl fiasco, there are some non-software-related reasons that MS may feel inclined to offline the entire fork tree. That'd be the bigger concern for me.
