Howdy,

I really like the idea of using github. I am a big github fan, and have 
proposed before that the COPBL would benefit from being hosted on 
github, since it would make it easier for people to fork and send 
patches (I still haven't gotten around to submitting my own COPBL 
extensions through the bug tracker!). Even if many of the patches are 
not incorporated into the main repository, github makes it very easy to 
see who has forked it, and to explore the changes people have made.

GitHub also hosts git-backed wikis, which are very very cool. They can 
be edited both through the traditional web interface but also checked 
out as a git repository and modified as files. This could be an 
excellent way of hosting the Solutions Guide that allows people to make 
their own contributions.

Also, GitHub uses pygments for syntax highlighting. As soon as the 
pygments team approves my cfengine module (finger crossed), we could 
have native cfengine highlighting there :-)

And finally, Github has the Github-pages feature, which allows a project 
to host its own web pages as part of the repository itself. They can 
even be redirected to custom domains (copbl.cfengine.org?).

Best regards,
--Diego
