if you encounter any bug or issue, or would like to share a possible improvement, feel free to get in contact with me

contact information is available on my homepage, but you can also use the form below:

contributing

i am trying to depend less on github and, in general, from the source foundry workflow

issues are simply discussions, there is no need to have them stored in the same database/filesystem holding your repositories

pull requests don't need authenticated users since git is already decentralized

a source-foundry-less workflow might look like this:

clone one of my repositories locally
do needed changes, commit freely on your local copy
host your local copy somewhere (github, codeberg or selfhosted)
request me to pull from you (contact me, mail or matrix or fedi)
we will discuss your PR, eventually apply fixes or changes
i pull your changes from your repo and push them to mine

and that's it! we merged your work into my repository

it will be credited to you and everyone can pull your modifications from my repositories

nobody has to register a new account (or recover an already registered one) and discussion is not limited to the "issue" format

the main argument against this workflow might be that discussions may not get archived, but any development group should set up their discussion board and not rely on issues alone

it's also important to sign commits: since there is no longer a central authority making sure that commits were really created by you, signing your commits makes an authority not needed anymore

why

gamification of source archives is getting out of hand:

stars used to mean how much a project is used, now it's a (buyable) clout metric
issues used to be a small forum for discussions, now it's a (manipulable) clout metric
CI used to be a way to programmatically take actions, now it's a (meaningless) clout metric

my github used to be my "digital portfolio": a way for people to see what i'm working on and to contribute if the want to

more and more microsoft iterations are making github a mix of facebook and jira, with features i don't care about which cater to users i don't share ideals with

i want to regain control of my source code: my git hub is not a social network

licensing

source licensing is not uniform and in some case not explicitly stated

if you plan to use my code commercially, be sure to check each repository's LICENSE file

if, for any reason, a repository doesn't contain a LICENSE file, all code rights are reserved to myself
