Maybe the details just aren't important.

With nostr you don't need a fork. Just clone a repository listed on nostr and send a PR right from your local git repository with`ngit send`.

as users who have used ngit to create proposals / repo events and interact with them on gitworkshop.dev, what level of information would have helped you grok what you need to grok?

Would calling proposals PRs help? How can we communicate the enduring need for a source git repo but not forks?

Thanks for that explanation Dan.

I noticed in all flows you referred to them as pull requests, despite the differences. What about using this familiar terminology and not changing it, but when the user first interacts with a PR, we explain to them how it's different from Github, in as few words as possible.

Maybe "Fast PR", let's add the value to the name.

Or also simply "Nostr PR", this add promote the brand and the underlying tech, keeping the original function labeling.

PR is familiar terminology for GitHub users but I'd just call them patches, that's what they are after all. Patch is a well understood technical term in code collaboration.

PRs make sense for github as a centralize model (top-down) with git hub as single reference ( relative to central ), ngit is like git ( bottom - up ) and have local repository as reference, but is expose as patch ( relative to local ).

if this is done in ngit the term is patch, I think, but in gitworkshop is just a proposal until merged, the term is also PR ( PP ) ( github is centralized, patch is PR, allready deployed )

Don't think renaming proposals would help. It's a different workflow and a different mindset.
