Move website off GitLab.com
I want to help out with the FSCI website, but GitLab.com is a royal pain to use over Tor. Can we move the repository to Codeberg.org or git.fsci.in ?
Can we move fsci.in to Codeberg?

What is the decision you need to make?
Shall we move the fsci.in website repo to Codeberg? A mirror will be retained on GitLab.com to serve the website over GitLab Pages, and development will happen on Codeberg.
Why is this important?
fsci.in is currently hosted on GitLab.com. GitLab.com is near-impossible to use over Tor Browser. Codeberg does not suffer from this issue.

As a Tor Browser user, using GitLab.com makes it impossible for me to contribute to the project. We can later move to git.fsci.in when it is ready.

I'm happy to move off GitLab. Since git.fsci.in is not yet ready, Codeberg sounds like a good interim option.

It's just collaborative git. As long as whoever is pushing code has access to it, it doesn't matter where the web copy is. Do ensure the website links to the right link. (We can also let people know that they can send patches via email if they like)

Codeberg is closer to Free Software community and is managed by a community.

I am confused about why a mirror will be retained on Github ?

@Aaruni Kaushik It is a typo, mirror will be retained on gitlab.com, for use with gitlab pages. If new codeberg pages improves uptime (we will know once we move prav.app to new codeberg pages), we can later consider moving to codeberg pages as well, at that point we can drop gitlab.com mirror if we want.

Who has registered "fsci" on codeberg? If it is one among us, please add "akshay" to the organization
