my ideal code forge is something like: we host Gerrit But With Nicer UI for youwe host Linear.App But With Support For Public Issues for youwe host Github Wikis But With Nicer UI for youwe host Github Projects But With Nicer UI for youwe host SourceGraph for youwe host Woodpecker for you (Codeberg already does this!)and then make all that overrideable and configurable also i would want some way to include all this in the data model of the repository, as in, you run git clone /project/repo and you get the code, but you can also run git clone /project/repo/all.git and you get the issues and wikis and projects as submodules or whatever; git-bug is kinda this but for issues specifically i would also love an "live collaborative editing mode" for any part of the code in the repo, so you can do things like "let your docs team use a WYSIWYG editor without having to learn git"

it would also be neat to have the authentication (but not the authorization) tied to something like ATProto so people can self-host their own data if they want to rather than having to keep making new accounts and filling in a bunch of info for each

@jyn@tech.lgbt sourcehut does the modular components thing i think k, fossil does the everything in repo (but isn’t git compatible) non technical people already kinda do editing from forge web UI in my experience, but wysiwyg would make that better. the problem is reconciling that sort of office/gdocs workflow with git commits, especially when it spans multiple files/wanting to build a usable PR
