You're right about the issues, I wish GitHub used some plain-text format with an optional UI for that (e.g. plain org-mode files), but the wiki on GitHub is just a plain Git repo with Markdown files, it's not centralized.
I don't see how you lose the community more than with any hosting method. If GitHub were nuked off the face of the earth you have all the contributors in your Git history, just send them a mail with the new location of the repo.
You are missing the whole point being that if github is own and assume core developers don't have t latest opt you are screed. If you want to promote your idea, get to. Sage. Don use github and show people your new decentralized github clone.
You guys are bullying him without a proper reason.. cause they (redecentralize.org) are not creating the technologies themselves.. they are just making the efforts and projects of others public and organized.. therefore they dont need to do this sort of thing themselves..
Their goal are being achieved: To spread the word about projects that can create a descentralized internet..
So, can we please give them a break, and the credits for their nice work?
