Hi, as a forge developer myself (being the maintainer of heptapod, I find this project interesting.
I’ve skimmed the project and have been impressed by the care about the human / social aspect in the description. Exploring strategies for fostering user adoption looks to be a first class member of the project itself, and that’s a very good thing.
On the technical side, I expect the biggest challenge to be that the data to be exchanged have (usually) not been designed to do so, by contrast with the source code itself, now that distributed version control has become the norm.
