As someone who hasn't been following this: what's the split look like between Forgejo and Gitea for where the contributors are going?
Is is mostly going to Forgejo (other than Gitea Inc employees obviously), mostly staying with Gitea, a mix?
- jolheiser 4y agoAs a quick bias note, I am a Gitea maintainer, but a majority of frequent maintainers appear to be staying with Gitea so far. That being said, Forgejo is a soft fork, so they will still benefit from those contributions.
- remram 4y ago> a majority of frequent maintainers appear to be staying with Gitea Forgejo was officially launched yesterday... Also what's a "frequent maintainer"?
- jolheiser 4y agoYes, but the soft fork discussions began a few days after the first blog post. I have no real description for a "frequent maintainer", so maybe my wording was incorrect there. I simply meant someone who contributes to the project often, but I don't have a concrete description for you considering "often" could also be subjective.
- remram 4y ago> someone who contributes to the project often A frequent contributor then? "Maintainer" usually implies some sort of admin rights, e.g. the people merging in the contributions.
- jolheiser 4y agoWe have a list of maintainers, not all of whom can merge, so I apologize for getting this terminology incorrect. I have usually referred to frequent contributors as maintainers interchangeably, but I am glad to have it clarified. Yes, frequent contributors.
- silverwind 4y agoAs a contributor, I will keep watching both and go wherever there seems to be more traction. I don't really care about the ongoing politics.
- maxloh 4y agoLooking at the repo, seems like it doesn't receive many commits within the past week beside documentation improvements.
