seems like a promising project! I'll definitely give this a spin, however, I landed on the page and I wasn't immediately sure about what i had in front of me, same goes for the github page. If this is a software meant for developing with powerful collaboration tools, where is even just one screenshot of what it looks like? I don't want to sound like a tiktok kid that only cares about form over function, but there's a…

You can go look at the demo/site for Gitea if you want.

At the time of writing the interface will be identical.

How do you pronounce this? Forge Joe? Forego? Forgeaux?

/for'd͡ʒe.jo/ It's Esperanto. It's supposed to be written "forĝejo" (forĝi=to forge, -ej-=place, -o=noun). The letter ĝ (for the dʒ sound, like Dj in Django, or J in John) is supposed to be written as gx without diacritics. But I assume "forgxejo" would have confused non-Esperantists even more.

Another option would be "forghejo", that's how Zamenhof suggested replacing ĝ

"Forgejo" is not ideal in Esperanto, because both "for" 'away' and "gejo" 'gay man' are totally valid Esperanto words, and "forgejo" is a valid combination (even though it's hard to understand what "away-gay" should mean); compare "foriri" 'go away' or "forigi" 'do away with, remove' xD

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?

Looking at the repo, seems like it doesn't receive many commits within the past week beside documentation improvements.

Does any commit to forgejo benefit gitea ltd also? What about other way around (while gitea is still opensource - is it, btw?) Or how does a soft fork work?

A soft fork means Forgejo will be periodically pulling from Gitea. As far as I know they intend to upstream patches they make as well. And yes, Gitea is still open source and MIT licensed.

If Forgejo is pulling updates from Gitea, and Gitea might be pulling updates from Forgejo, what's the point of the split in the first place?
