So far I have not seen anyone advocating for remaining on Gitlab, and I

have seen plenty of people advocating for Sourcehut or something

similarly simple. Additionally, the specification currently has no

maintainer.

Because of this, I have taken the liberty of creating a project and bug

trackers on Sourcehut. I will be coping the Gitlab issues and

repositories today.

`F66bhttps://sr.ht/~u9000/gemini-specification/`f

As I do not have an abundance of excess time, I would love for someone

to step-up to fill Sean's role. If needed, however, I can do so.

I hope this move will allow more people to contribute to the project---

even if they cannot create an account---and rejuvenate the specification

discussions.

Hi u9000,

I have a Github action which mirrors Github issues to a sourcehut TODO [1].

It's obviously not plug and play in this context, but perhaps it would make a

good starting point for a cronjob so you don't have to manually copy issues

as they arise.

Cheers,

Andrew

Funny, I made my own last night:

`F66bhttps://sr.ht/~nytpu/Gemini-Specification/`f

I'll delete it in a bit, I don't want to fragment the spec finalization.

I didn't want to fill Solderpunk or Sean Conner's role either, I was

going to modify the specifications in accordance with the things that

Solderpunk and Sean Conner made a relatively final decision on in the

Gitlab and mailing list, and then open tickets for the rest.

just one thing: before copying the specification text etc I would

probably make sure what the license really is.

AFAICS there's no license, neither in the original text from solderpunk

nor in the rfc draft from Sean, which means that they hold all the

rights on those texts.

IANAL, so maybe what you're doing fells under the fair use, I don't

know, my intention was just to make sure this point was taken into

consideration.

good luck

Sean, I know that you gave up your position a few weeks ago, but if you

still have push access, could you please add license files to the Gitlab

repositories? There aren't any right now, but all of the commits are

yours, so you can adding them now wouldn't infringe on anyone else's

copyright.

If it would help, you have my permission to do that. If you need a

license, is a 0BSD (Zero-clause BSD) license or one of the CC licenses okay?

I can quickly add it to the repo.

That's a good point. I don't believe it does fall under Fair Use, so I

will wait until there is a license before continuing the move.

Hi,

i'm sad to see Sean go, but i'm also exicted that there are still people

around who are interested in finalizing the spec.

Maybe when things settled and a few people interested in further discussion

have come to consensus we should reach out to solderpunk

with a proposal of how things could go on.

That being said, i'd like to throw another suggestion in for discussion:

`! Because of this, I have taken the liberty of creating a project and bug`!

`! trackers on Sourcehut. I will be coping the Gitlab issues and`!

`! repositories today.`!

`! `!

`! => https://sr.ht/~u9000/gemini-specification/ Sourcehut project`!

Instead of moving to yet another source forge that caused emotional reactions

within the community for multiple times for different reasons,

we should go for self-hosting.

If there is any interest from the community i'd be happy to provide a gitea

instance especially focused on projects for gemini (not limited to the spec).

I've been running my own gitea instance for quite some time now [1] and i'm

maintaining geminispace.info, the widely used public search engine for gemini.

Comments highly appreciated. I'd flesh out some more details about my

ideas if you are interested.

regards

René

One of the benefits of using Sourcehut is that one does not need an

account to participate. Projects typically accept patches via email, and

the mailing lists and ticket trackers are open to anyone with an email

address.

Sourcehut can also be self-hosted if desired, though the process is

likely more involved than that for Gitea.

Gitea also has similar Javascript issues to Gitlab. Even without email,

to host the project, René.

I think a central git repo is useful even if most of the discussion is

on a newsgroup. Version control would still be needed in that situation.

While I think source distribution would be very inline with the Gemini ethos,

I agree that it would be useful to have a canonical central git repo.

Additionally

there is the risk of a self-hosted gitea instance going down and there are

maintenance costs which would be imposed on the hoster. It would be great

to have the source self-hosted but for the stability and longevity of the

community I'm not sure if it's the best decision. I support DJ's decision to

use Sourcehut.

These are for sure valid points for chosing SourceHut.

My experience with communitys in various flavours told me to step back

from having a completely open system in favour of some sort of

registration/moderation. But i understand that sometimes it is more

important to have the barrier for contribution as low as possible.

`! Sourcehut can also be self-hosted if desired, though the process is`!

`! likely more involved than that for Gitea.`!

I had a look in self-hosting SourceHut before choosing gemini, so my

knowledge might be outdated. But back than it needed way more effort

to get it going than i can do in my spare time.

This can happen with a commercial hosting as well. As far as i know you

need to have a paid account on Sourcehut to have public repos,

so in the end someone will need to pay anyway.

If we move to another source forge of any kind and stick with having a

single person owning the repos nothing is won compared the

situation we are facing currently.

We need to gather a team of interested people to increase the bus factor

of the project.

This is true. Commercial products like Sourcehut have SLAs they must

meet however.

I completely agree. One downside to Sourcehut is as of right now is the

lack of an organizational construct. That's something that will be

launched when Sourcehut releases beta however. It won't be free, but

it should allow the community to transfer ownership over to a group of

volunteers.

Andrew

I agree that commercial hosting can also go down, but I think that paid-

This is a good point; the previous maintainers both eventually burnt-out

- presumably because of the size of the project and a few other factors.

Perhaps 2–4 co-maintainers, instead of a single maintainer, would help.

What are people's opinions on this?

Communities of Gemini and Tilde overlap quite a bit, I think.

Tildeverse offers:

* Wiki pages, e.g. https://tilde.wiki

* Gemini hosting, cf. https://tilde.wiki/wiki/Gemini

* Git hosting, e.g. thru Gitea on tildegit.org

* IRC, Gemini's IRC channel lives on tilde.chat

* NNTP, cf. https://tilde.wiki/wiki/NNTP

Not sure if a Gemini focus would be in line with Tildes' ideas, though.

Other mentions once included Codeberg and Wikiversity.

* Codeberg (ie. Gitea) needs some Javascript, we heard.

* Wikiversity is just for learning resources? Maybe debatable.

Just some rough thoughts, thanks.

I agree that they overlap quite a bit, and personally, I enjoy that the

IRC channel is on tildechat. I'm pretty sure that it's always been

unofficial, though. I think that the Tildeverse is a great resource for

the Gemini community, but I as well, am not confident in moving the

project to the Tildeverse's Gitea instance.

As an aside, I want to mention that there is also a Gemini XMPP room:

Nobody complained about using a gitlab when it was first discussed. As

a general rule, nobody complains until something is actually done.

Thinking that moving to a different sofwtare will solve human and

group problems is naive. (But very common in the corporate world,

where a new group work software is deployed every year.)

Stephane, this is not true. Looking at the mailing list archives there are

complaints about the choice of Gitlab dating as early as 2021-03-13. Those

complaints were dismissed or ignored.

All the best,

Not true, all you need is an account on a tilde which is on our allowed domains list[1].

Furthermore, if you don't want to get a tilde account, you can email ben

(ben AT tilde DOT team)

with your desired username and a little about yourself, and he'll manually

create the account for

you. (I'd also be willing to help with that if we needed to, but I don't

know what I would need to

do to make accounts manually.)

Just my two cents,

Hi khuxkm, it is nice to see you on this list. Yeah, tildegit only

requires that an account on a tilde on the domains list. It is very nice

that accounts can be created manually if someone signing up were to ask

ben or another tildegit admin, I suppose.
