<li>Status: WIP</li>
<li>Description: API-space software forge federation implementation.</li>
</ul>
<p>Federation will take time to implement in most, popular software forge
implementations. Interface aims to use the forge's REST API or similar
and create a federation layer on top of it.</p>
<p>Currently, implementation has minimal support for Forgejo and Gitea. A
Forgejo user can be exposed to Fediverse through WebFinger using
Interface.</p>

<li>Description: A lookup service for federating software forges</li>
<li>Flagship instance: <a href="https://northstar.forgeflux.org">northstar.forgeflux.org</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Interface's API-based, external, third-party approach introduces a
unique problem: how to locate the internet address (hostname) of the
Interface that services a forgege? Enter Northstar. It is a simple
Key-Value search server that maps forges and internfaces</p>
<h3 id="3-starchart">3. Starchart&nbsp;<a class="anchor" href="#3-starchart">&#xE732;</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/forgeflux-org/starchart">Source code</a></li>
<li>Status: Usable</li>
<li>Description: Spider and search engine for federating forges</li>
<li>Flagship instance:
<a href="https://starchart.forgeflux.org">starchart.forgeflux.org</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Projects on centralized forges like GitHub and GitLab enjoy good
visibility through network effect, good search engine indexing and
through third-party tools like
<a href="https://awesomeopensource.com/">awesomeopensource.com/</a>.</p>
<p>Starchart aims to provide high-visibility for projects on independently
hosted forges by indexing them and exposing the index with a searchable
index. The index is designed to be replicated, so that new Starchart
instances can be bootstrapped from an existing Starchart instance's
data.</p>

<li>Description: Compliance checker/test runner for <a href="https://activitypub.rocks">ActivityPub</a> and by
extension, <a href="https://forgefed.org">ForgeFed</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The idea is to create something similar to
<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest">matrix-org/sytest</a>, but for
ActivityPub and ForgeFed. This way, we'll be able to measure how
compliant an implementation is to the specifications, which we hope will
improve interoperability between instances.</p>
