Indeed. It does have CI:

   https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/

but it's probably not Gitlab-compatible.

But then, given that moving has a high cost (for the reasons pointed out
by Ricardo), we should take a long-term perspective. I expect forĝejo to
be a more interesting platform in the long run, both technically
(Fediverse) and socially (not for profit).

Questions:

 1. How much effort would it be to implement forĝejo support in Cuirass?

 2. In view of federated forges, which facilitate some aspects of moving
    between forges, maintaining mirrors, etc., could we come up with
    a way to make Guix channels easier to relocate, and/or have multiple
    URLs?

Cheers,
  Konrad.
