Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!
It’s being worked.
I knowwww
Great, hopefully this high-profile move makes them change their name into something that can’t be potentially pronounced 8 different ways. Forge-joe? Or more like Jorge-ho?
I’ve been pronouncing it For-ge-ho
for as in the word “for”,
ge as in gecko
and ho as in ho-ho-ho!
I’ll continue to call it forge joe. It’s more cute. It’s like “where do I put these files?” “Just give them to Joe, he’ll know where to store them”.
I’ve always been a fan of for-ged-joe (like forget Joe, but with a d instead of a t)
Maybe it’s more like for-gay-joe? Or for-gay-o? For-gee-o? For-gy-o? Who knows?
It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/
Not many names come from Esperanto so that’s interesting. :)
For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it’s pronounced like “for-jay-yo”.
If it’s going to be a name from a made up language, it should be in Klingon.
For Esperanto probably nobody will want royalties :)
All languages are made up.
