To be clear, although I dislike Github in particular, I'm also very wary of anything that requires the use of a website external to the mailing lists to be able to play. One of the huge strengths of Agora is that its entire history can be deduced from the weekly/monthly office reports, making it easy to determine facts about past gamestates; and all actions also go via the lists, so you can interpolate the gamestate in between, as well. I'm in favour of more office automation but I'd rather it be done via parsing messages sent to the lists, rather than requiring actions to be entered externally. -- ais523
