I would instead of a secret GA vote, maybe wait a few days for discussion to settle down and then just ask people on the ML about (yes vs no) (strong vs weak) and a short paragraph about a switch to Forgejo As well as a 2nd question: namely on the threshold should we switch if we have 51% ? or no strong opposition ? or how to draw the line? Also, should we switch if we loose some developers by doing so? Its possible that will give us a clear consensus already If not, taking another look at the comments from people strongly opposing in context of yes/no votes in general seems worthy. Either way i think if this ends with 45% vs 55% i would feel uneasy I would like to see a clear preferrance of the community, something like 20% vs 80%. I think a simple count of yes/no strong/weak and what threshold people prefer seems enough and it seems like "richer" in information. If this doesnt work out we can just try again in 3 months and if it fails again we can still go for some hard formal vote. And maybe by the time we will have cleared up some of the governance disagreements > > Can Timo set it up and maintain it for us? IIUC timo can do it but he should reply himself i think thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
