Then if SF goes down we'll go back to emails & patches. Issues will be tracked with post-its & todo lists and communicated by voice.

I really wish we could get the community effects of github without github and have everyone self-hosting repos or even a fully distributed solution on top of something like IPFS.

I am sorely tempted to just start tracking issues as YML or CSV + markdown files in an issues directory. That gets me all kinds of features that GH doesn't provide:

- offline issue management (bugs on a plane)

- issues associated with branches

- grep, awk, ack, sed

- all of the above, available to git hook scripts

The only thing he holding me back, is that I really want to get this right. This needs to become a standard, not "Dan's weird repo that no one understands".

It's not fossil-scm, but git-appraise restores some of the lost distributed'ness:

https://github.com/google/git-appraise

https://github.com/google/git-appraise-web

https://github.com/Nemo157/git-appraise-rs

And there's also http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/ (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/).

Let's just get rid of the darn computers already.

I gave up and started posting to usenet.

Young blood here. Can we go further?

There's only so far tin can and string will go.
