Consider undo the replacement of non-libre to online
In https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Free_Software_Directory:Backlog_active&diff=82495&oldid=82494 I believe that replacing `non-libre` with `online` changes the meaning and makes the presentation confusing as:
I've observed that currently one of the major issues in libre community is that end-users are unaware of libre alternatives to online services...
May be seen as not being concerned about proprietary and non-libre service providers which is the main concern provided assuming possibly superior alternatives provided by the libre community.
Consider undo or rephrase, --Kreyren (talk) 22:47, 21 November 2020 (CET)
- Non-libre services is a confusing phrase. Most websites and services use free software under the hood, but only some licenses (like AGPLv) urge the maintainer to publish the code. For an example, would a website that uses freely licensed JavaScript, GPLv2 frameworks, and a free software web server on a GNU/Linux distribution that does not publish the source code be libre? The concept is of verifying services is a good one, but would be technically very challenging and is probably out of scope for the FSD. mmcmahon (talk) 12:44, 23 November 2020 (EDT)
Git clone command
Hi Michael,
Please, don't remove the .git extension. It's the official syntax for all protocols, both on Savannah, GitLab and GitHub… Genium (talk) 01:05, 3 October 2020 (EDT)
- If the git clone command understands without .git at the end for all https clones, I see it as unnecessary extra bits and typing. I will not make any more of these changes, but I did test with Savannah, GitLab, and GitHub. mmcmahon (talk) 11:33, 5 October 2020 (EDT)
