What's different between Gitea and Gogs?

I just setup the Gogs docker image the other day to play with, and it seemed pretty painless to me.

Edit: I just found https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/ which somewhat answers this - essentially a different governance model and more development, but not any major functional differences.

Gittea is a community fork of gogs motivated by dissatisfaction with the current maintainer.
Is that the plural for contributor nowadays? Goose::Geese ::: Contributor::Community

Why are people eager yo forget that users are also members of the 'community'?

I set up a private gogs server at work in about 1 hour (most of that time was spent learning how vagrant works with ansible). My first reaction looking at Gitea is how similar it looks to gogs. The landing page seems identical.
It is a fork of gogs because of governance issues.
