Community Call to Action: Proposal to Form an Autonomi Developer Council

According to ChatGPT o3, backing up Issues/Wiki/etc from Codeberg, as well as migrating to a self-hosted Forgejo is possible. Hopefully a backup is made from time to time in case of sudden deplatforming.

These organizations (at least all that I checked) don’t seem to use Codeburg for anything beyond hosting bare Git repos. i.e. no Wiki, no Issues. (Also, I’m not sure if every project is having their organization’s identity verified.)

Exampes:

  1. FreeBSD: https://codeberg.org/FreeBSD. I assume that it is official, but I’m not sure that its actually verified to come from the organization.

  2. FreeCad ( https://codeberg.org/FreeCAD/FreeCAD ) The “Wiki” just redirects to FreeCAD’s own website.

  3. Ansible ( https://codeberg.org/ansible/ansible/issues )

I know that Codeburg announced that unofficial mirroring became problematic to the point that they got rid of their feature that automaticly mirrors repositories from other code hosting sites.

All in all, since there doesn’t seem to be vendor lock-in with the issues/wiki, that makes me feel better.

I’m just making sure we have the option, I make no call to mv rather than cp our Github activity

Im going to experiment with a repo that should have been archived ages ago as it is well past sell-by date

f you need a mirror, you can create manual mirrors by adding multiple remotes to your local repository and using git push --mirror

right they use it for mirroring which is the current context of this thread. I use it daily as private repo.

More great projects come to my mind for mirroring, most interesting being Fossil and Radicle, both have some mechanisms to import projects from GitHub, but that could be only code. Maybe at some point I’ll try them and share the results.

Gitbug is good too - implements issues inside a git repo and supports import, export and CLI and.planned web GUI.

I used it as a lib to build a p2p GitHub PoC a few years ago.

Alternatives to GitHub

I have made an personal account and set up Autonomi Community as an organisation on Codeberg. I just need your Codeberg usernames and you all have a new space in which to work/mirror.
I’m happy to do the same for Gitbug, Fossil etc if the consensus is that it is worth the effort.
Note that the effort has to extend to keeping everything in reasonable sync. Also others will need to come in as (co)admins, I’m not doing this on my own and having me as a single point of failure on any of these platforms is a bad idea.

Now discuss “reasonable sync” :slight_smile:

Worth considering as a 2nd-round IF project for someone?

I’ll have you know these are finest Bavarian Weissbier stains - nane o yer warm flat English pish here…

Though a nice crisp pint of zoider is acceptable…

Can’t remember the last time I opened a lovely warm round… English beer, he said sipping his Glenfid.. dich. Hmmm… sounds a bit German :thinking:

Never mind, the English vanquished the German’s again tonight so enjoy your Bavarian. I prefer a beer more familiar to Hercule Poirot :laughing:

BTW: I don’t have access to /settings in case that was the intention but obvs I can edit that doc.

EDIT: and create docs which is all I need.

Selective, but yes I am at a low. A mere 20 bottles of fine wine, two fine Whiskies and various French spirits, not to mention PIMMs and other cocktail ingredients.

And they say the Scotts and Irish are the drinkers on this island :laughing:

I was down to five bottles of wine last week and ran out of whisky weeks ago. It was a close thing but I made port [cough].
