  • For us to be able to help you, I think you need to give us some more details about the organization of your work. If each chapter is a separate text file, then you don’t really need to do any branching at all (assuming people will only make changes on their own files and not touch others’ work). If it is a single text file, branching (or anything else, to be honest) will not help much.

    I assume chapters will have their separate files. As long as you can control who touches which file, everybody can work on the same branch (also referred to as “trunk based”). But if you fear that people may interfere with each other’s work (willingly or by accident), then it makes sense to create a branch per chapter to keep contributors at a distance from each other. But working on a single repository requires some sort of an agreement on the workflow.

















  • I think you are highlighting an important point that are missed by other commenters emphasizing the developer. I prefer GPL over MIT license. But this is a possible fallback if Redis decides to change its licensing (like several others did).

    I think these kind of products have strategic significance for MS for their Azure offering. They are probably preparing to offer this there (in addition to and as an alternative to Redis). So, it makes sense for Microsoft to release this with an OSS license (otherwise no one will adopt it).










  • I think single account ActivityPub implementations are addressing a weakness of the Fediverse: one’s identity (handle, username) is tied to an instance they have no control over. If that instance shuts down users lose everything. With a single account instance, you take that control back. And since it doesn’t need to scale the architecture can be much simpler and can be deployed to much cheaper infrastructure.

    The demo was not straightforward, though. And I didn’t quite get how a user can follow Mastodon users, for example.
