the single most important criteria when replacing Github
https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/the_single_most_important_criteria_when_replacing_Github/
Consider all the data that's used to provide the value-added features on top of git. Issue tracking, wikis, notes in commits, lists of forks, pull requests, access controls, hooks, other configuration, etc.
Is that data stored in a git repository?
@joeyh how do you feel about activitypub as an interoperability mechanism instead?
@technomancy like I say in the blog post, it neglects an pportunity.
Unless activitypub gets as much distributed power as git has.
(But, consuming data from a git repository and communicating it over activitypub would be fine.)
Joey, what do you mean by "Unless activitypub gets as much distributed power as git has."
Have you seen https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub ?
And does git-ssb have such power?
@bhaugen well, @cwebber has talked about using https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/ in activitypub and the result looks a lot like ssb to me.
