I agree; I think this might have been in part because the Wiki was so easy to use and change; I did receive some patches, but not any overwhelming amount. > So I wish the new site success, but the definition of success from my > point of view is not how many random visitors it will attract, but how > well the site makes the contributors (both to git software itself, and to > the site's contents) feel welcomed.

We'll see. The question is, however,is whether to make the _current_ overview link target simply alias at the new site _now_, though. :-) It seems to be a waste to maintain two websites in parallel, as well as actively harmful and confusing for people interested in Git, as I tried to explain in my other mail.

Thanks, I appreciate this, though pretty much all of this sort of popped up simply because I had root access to a bored server. ;-) Especially wrt. the wiki, I think it's mainly Jakub Narebski who is keeping it together content-wise and keeps bugging me if it falls apart technically. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M.
