Summary: Improving code transparency in Techrights as the 15th year starts (2020 will be fifteenth, 2006 being the first)

Techrights strives to pursue justice by means of exposing facts. This has been true since 2006 when our primary goal was to end patent blackmail (financial demands based on unnamed, unspecified software patents).



"Our IRC logs don't typically provide sufficient code transparency, only conversational transparency."Over the past year we've become louder about the need to delete GitHub and we've developed quite a bit of software for the site over the past 8 months or so. In order to keep it organised -- complete with version control -- we're going to set up our own, local, self-hosted Git. This will hopefully increase transparency, too. Our IRC logs don't typically provide sufficient code transparency, only conversational transparency.

"Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done." --High Court of Justice
