Fedora Moves Towards Forgejo - Fedora Magazine
Numerous factors were involved in the decision to move to Forgejo and this article will discuss them, present some background on the process, and invite one more chance for feedback.
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?
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".
A strange choice. You've got most people who will be confused by the odd spelling, and then you've got esperantists like me who get confused by the missing accent mark. Until now, just seeing it in passing I assumed it was a password manager or something because of 'forgesi'.
I am glad to see more Esperanto in the wild, though.
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 just read and called it forgero which always made sense to me. I never realised the letters were not those...
Forgejo-jo-jo
Depends on your language.
Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!
It's being worked.
I knowwww
If it’s going to be a name from a made up language, it should be in Klingon.
All languages are made up.
For Esperanto probably nobody will want royalties :)
