The monthly report is meant to provide a good overview of what has changed in Forgejo in the past month. If you would like to help, please get in touch in the chatroom or participate in the ongoing discussions.

The User Research effort that gained momentum two months ago continues with a new round of user testing sessions. It is key to collect evidence about what Forgejo users need, a requirement to build a roadmap and reduce the growing backlog of bug reports and feature requests.

Building blocks for both ActivityPub federation and data portability improvements were merged into the codebase. They are not yet used for any user visible feature but they are a stepping stone. Their implementation was made significantly easier by the hard fork because they can rely on a codebase that is better tested.

Discussions began on a new workflow for design work and feature requests. Users are encouraged to describe the problem rather than the solution. Feature requests typically consist of the description of a solution. However, often there are multiple solutions to one problem, and there are multiple problems with one solution.
