Semi off-topic naming discussion 🙃

The new name followed those rules.It’s voxel and libre, sharing an L.

Is it Voxe-Libre, Voxel-ibre (not everyone knows that “libre” is a word), or Voxel-Libre, or something else? This is not clear at all for every language that is not English. “Voxe(l)” is also, to a certain extend, a game mechanic. It would be like naming a game using a polygon based engine PolygonRandomame :)

But Since the name change already made it into international news it cannot be changed anymore without causing mor disturbance. People will get used to it like they got used to “Minetest” (which is an absolute stupid name that was never meant to be permanent).

As for the Forgejo issue, have you started a discussion here? You also shouldn’t need a script, because Forgejo can clone from Gitea, including issues if an access token was provided.
