The https://forgefed.org developers are extending the specs, and asking for feedback in the issue trackers on #Codeberg, but none is forthcoming.

As a result large crowds root for @forgefed #forge federation to come along, but it will not happen anytime soon at the current pace.

@nlnet through #NGI0 provide funding to #ForgeFed, #Vervis, #Anvil, and also #Forgejo and these people are bravely forging ahead. More community help is needed though.

Same is true for #Gitlab's federation efforts.

#Codeberg is a developer platform based on the #Forgejo code forge software.

#ForgeFed is a protocol specification, an extension of #ActivityPub.

Any #forge can implement ForgeFed and become part of the #fediverse, as it were. This allows devs to interact with projects on remote forge servers as if they were part of their local hub. They can create issues, discuss them, create PR's, define teams.

The social network #Github provides to discover #FOSS projects is now federated.

Roughly speaking our grassroots commons faces 3 challenges..

1. Tyranny of small decisions. Uncoordinated action makes it impossible to collaborate at scale

2. Herding of cats. Attempts to govern fiercely independent autonomous people doomed to fail

3. Tragedy of the commons. Unsustainable imbalance between value extraction and delivery

What ailed @forgefed for a long time is that everyone is interested for to become the real deal, yet no one was working on it, no feedback.

I agree completely & in #copyleft- @next project, we're using #forgejo <https://git.copyleft.org/>!

The reason I mentioned @Codeberg specifically upthread (& not other options) is (a) 500-char limit on my server & (b) Codeberg is likely the best option for someone who wants to #GiveUpGitHub <https://giveupgithub.org> quickly.

Absolutely, #ForgeFederation is the future: #Fediverse for CODE!

Try @Codeberg today!

@bkuhn @downey @Codeberg

Or try @forgejo, the code #forge that #Codeberg is based on.

#Forgejo already has some #ActivityPub-based capabilities e.g. to federate stars, testing the waters for more to come. In their contrib community a whole @forgefed #ForgeFederation initiative is brewing..

@bzg @claudius

And #forgejo already has a level of #ActivityPub federation support, like for federated stars:

Hopefully with @forgefed adoption on the roadmap too, where this open standard supported by @NGIZero has been significantly progressed, but needs implementers in active feedback loops to refine and mature the specs.
