Why fork Gitea?
In October 2022 the domains and trademark of Gitea were transferred to a for-profit company without knowledge or approval of the community. Despite writing an open letter, the takeover was later confirmed. The goal of Forgejo is to continue developing the code with a healthy democratic governance.
So will this be the beginning of the end of gitea?
There's no live instance yet, though, right? At least I can't find a link to any on that web site.
Not yet. They just started, but I thought it's interesting for the community here.
how is the name pronounced?
Forgejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ – inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge)
I don't speak Esperanto :-)
i did see that but i have no idea how to make sense of those runes
