Hello Guix! It’s been one month since this GCD was submitted, which means there’s only (only?) one month left! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the discussion so far, it’s good to have this diversity of viewpoints and experiences.
For the remaining time, I think we should focus on finding what it would take to reach consensus on a variant of this proposal sharing goals along the lines of those stated in the intro: The contribution workflow in Guix has been facing several challenges: difficult onboarding, lack of legibility, complex, unreliable, and labor-intensive infrastructure, and lack of automation. All these lead to an experience that contributors often find frustrating and hinders quality assurance efforts. We propose to address these limitations by migrating repositories, issue tracking, and patch tracking to Codeberg, a “modern” forge hosted by a non-profit. If you brought up ideas or concerns, consider submitting a patch against the existing proposal; what would you change to the text? Please make sure to take a step back, taking into consideration the experience we have collectively (with Codeberg and other forges, with migrations, with free software project workflows, etc.) and what sounds desirable for the project’s future, putting aside personal preferences and short-term issues for a moment. I’m confident we can find common ground! Ludo’.
