Re: issue tracking in git

[Giovanni Biscuolo]

Hello Jonathan,

nice to read you!

I saw your «L'Union Qiuy Fait La Force» presentation at Ten Years of
Guix [1] and I have to admit I still have to "digest" it, because I
still do not understand the overall architecture (see below).

RDF representations of diffs (commits?) so we can combine this knowledge
with others (represented in RDF) AFAIU is great: (open) linked data for
knowledge management

IMHO RDF is still a little bit underestimated :-D

what about gNife?

https://git.sr.ht/~indieterminacy/5q50jq_oq_configuring_emacs
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

gNife, an Emacs environment for high throughput issue-tracking and
knowledge-management - utilising GemText, Koutliner and Qiuy

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

is it still relevant or do you plan to substitute it with the tools
listed above?

Looking at the Icebreaker project descriptions:

1. https://nlnet.nl/project/Icebreaker/

2. https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/icebreaker.space

I can undertand the design principles of the tools you are developing
and I'm really impressed with the completeness of this approach with
knowledge management, unfortunately I miss the overall architecture and
some important detalils that allows me to completely understand how to
use (or try to contribute to, one day) this tools: do you plan to add
some more documentation soon?

Happy hacking! Gio'
