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. http://sf.net/ (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.

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. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
