Re: sr.ht --- "sir hat" --- alternatives to Github

[Lloyd Wood <[e-mail]>]

Rather weird to read an entire article talking about 'forges'

that doesn't mention SourceForge, the granddaddy of them all
and originator of the 'forge' thing, which also supports this
fashionable git-du-jour along with other revision control methods.

(necessary disclaimer: I've been using SourceForge for projects

 since 2001. As opposed to having just signed up to test the
 waters.)

My take is that, if you're contemplating using git as a necessary
tool to help you develop and maintain an internet-draft, you should

question why you're writing an internet-draft in the first place...


L.

oh, it's an *IPv6* internet-draft? Ah, right. Do carry on, then.

Subject: sr.ht --- "sir hat" --- alternatives to Github




https://lwn.net/Articles/775963/ has an article about sr.ht.

In particular, it says:


As mentioned, sr.ht has not taken the approach of being yet another GitHub

clone. Instead, it is geared toward a mailing-list-centric approach, possibly

using the sr.ht mailing list component. The sr.ht-dev mailing list (seen at

right) provides an example of the user interface for that component. Unlike

some other forges or mailing-list replacements, it is not JavaScript-heavy—in

fact, sr.ht uses no JavaScript at all, so pages are small (less than 10KB on

average) and load quickly.

I think that there may be many IETFers who will see some major advantages.

JavaScript-free, component based, email focused.  Probably also software

we can run ourselves.


I haven't had time to try it yet (just signed up for an account), but I will

put a draft or two on it, and see how I like it.
