Forgejo will now transform fediverse handles (ex. @forgejo@floss.social and !forgejo@programming.dev) into links to https://fedirect.toolforge.org/, a website hosted by Wikimedia, to redirect fediverse handles to their respective URLs via Webfinger. Forgejo is working on implementing proper federated mentions that will also notify users on other federated services, which the redirection does not do.

• 44% Male/Masculine
• 39% No information
• 18% Female/Feminine

Tech bias even on public domain open contribution datasets. Apparently could use more female contributors.

Documentation: A place where we can create documentation for projects that don’t have the documentation or is very basic.

Why create or extend documentation outside of the project when you could improve the project docs themselves?

Projects that are open source but don’t allow easy doc contributions?

I find contributing to projects very easy. When I read some docs, and find an issue, I create a pull request with a fix. When I’m interested in a project, I take a look at open issues. Often the website and software project are separate repos with separate issues.

I find the idea of a community of people sharing ideas, open tasks, seeking and finding contributors compelling, but I’m skeptical any new platform could reach critical mass. Maybe that’d be a matter of approach and long term effort.

What’s with the signed 2.0 vs unsigned 2.1 Windows installer?

Winget apparently already references the unsigned installer. Does it take them a while to sign? I would expect winget to reference only signed installers if they provide them.
