Any opinions on these points?
I would actually favor a move to a wiki of the style that Peff proposed,
hosted by github and backed by git with either a very mild ACL or none
("bots don't know git push"). k.org wiki had a grand total of three
edits in the last 30 days (plus some bot edits for user creation).
And of course without an org admin we don't really need to go any
further...
