Hi,

My name is Loïc Dachary. I'm a software developer and daily user of software forges for the past twenty years. In 2001 I created Savannah[0] by forking SourceForge and I still have a vivid memory of how challenging it can be to work on the codebase of a forge. This year I thought it would be interesting to allow forges to talk to each other (i.e. be federated instead of isolated) so that people can use the forge they like best instead of being forced to use the forge on which the project is hosted. The project is called fedeproxy and a grant was approved[1] to work on it. The first order of business is to conduct User Research[2] to figure out what to do. With an open mind: the conclusion may lead us on an unexpected path.
