Forge federation is a new area of the Fediverse that is evolving. Its potential is huge and the vision one of "Federated Software Development". A new technology landscape is emerging that might cover the full breadth of the Free Software Development Lifecycle (FSDL) and foster an ecosystem of projects and communities that can compete with proprietary platforms such as GitHub.

In order to get there the Major Challenges that ail the Fediverse must be avoided. And with Forge Federation entering new areas the opportunity exists to do that right from the early start.
