# Governance

## Codeberg e.V. custodian of the domains

The Forgejo [domains](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/meta/issues/41) are owned by the democratic non-profit dedicated to Free Software [Codeberg e.V.](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/en/bylaws.md). Forgejo is therefore ultimately under the control of Codeberg e.V. and its governance. However, although Codeberg e.V. is committed to use and host Forgejo, it is expected that Forgejo defines its own governance, in a way that is compatible with the Codeberg e.V. governance.

## Forgejo Governance

Forgejo was bootstraped in November 2022 and [defined its governance](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/src/branch/main/README.md) in the following months.

There must exist a link that points to the latest version on the website for the forgejo instance to display. Better but more complicated approaches could be to: * Embed the documentation in Forgejo * Allow the admin to not display the help * Allow the admin to display a versionned help or not (cherry picked from commit 83cc38923935dcc7edca22756d6fc10988a58540) (cherry picked from commit 5df52b8a4f6ebd184999a19dd10138a8e3980869) (cherry picked from commit 9a66b3d70b6e7d2a3ee146d3708d48d8f9bfe305) [DOCS] CONTRIBUTING/RELEASE: reminder to update FORGEJO_VERSION (cherry picked from commit 2a4d0bd164e55fc981d9437d8220a9c1e00ca59b) 2022-12-17 14:06:28 +01:00			`# Governance`
