ForgeFlux
Software Forge independent federation with ActivityPub and F3
Federation accurately models the way free software dynamics work: people and organizations across the globe come together to work on a software project. However, current software forging tools do not reflect this model, which has resulted in centralization in a few software forge instances. This issue is further complicated since a limited amount of tooling creators is committed to implementing federation.
ForgeFlux is a project in the forge federation domain that is trying to make forges federate by building external adapters. We use the forge's native APIs and create a translation layer to talk to other nodes on the federating forge network. We aim to make Forgejo and GitHub federate for the first stable release.
We are also working on other supporting areas in the forge federation domain, name in search and discovery of software projects, and in developing testing and debugging tools.
