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?).
