approval of the community. Despite <ahref="https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/">writing an open letter</a>, the takeover was later confirmed. The goal of Forgejo is to continue developing the code with a healthy
democratic governance.

<h2class="text-2xl py-4">Does Forgejo compete with Gitea?</h2>
<h2class="text-2xl py-4"style="font-family: "BPG_Glaho_GPL&GNU_2011";"><span>Does Forgejo com</span><spanstyle="font-family: "bpg_glaho";">pete with Gitea?</span></h2>
No. Forgejo is a soft fork of Gitea, in a way that is similar to <ahref="https://lineageos.org/">LineageOS</a> a community led distribution based on Android from Google. It intends to reunite the Gitea community: all Gitea contributors are welcome in Forgejo and Forgejo contributor can also participate in Gitea.

<h2class="text-2xl py-4">Are migrations between Gitea and Forgejo possible?</h2>
<p> Yes, because for now Forgejo is a "soft fork". This means that all commits made on <ahref="https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/">Gitea</a> are also present in Forgejo. Some additional modifications are made, to improve scaling, federation and privacy. </p>

<h2class="text-2xl py-4">What is the governance of Forgejo?</h2>
<p> Forgejo is a collective of individuals who collectively and incrementally define their own governance. The first meeting happened <ahref="https://codeberg.org/forgejo/meta/issues/19#issuecomment-694460">on October 24th, 2022</a> and everyone is welcome to participate. Codeberg e.V. does not run the day to day operations of Forgejo nor does it require the members of the project to follow its governance. It is solely responsible for ensuring the domains and trademarks are ultimately used to further the interest of the general public in accordance to its bylaws. </p>
<h2class="text-2xl py-4">Does Forgejo have a Code of Conduct?</h2>
