That was a long thread! Let me sum it up: Many people liked gist, but
many others said a ranking/comment system was more important to let
the outdated/broken/unmaintained code fade away. So they were talking
something like a merge of stackoverflow and gist, then there was a lot
of discussion about licensing, and the conversation kind of faded
away. No clear conclussion.

Such solutions seems a bit like overkill when the wiki is working
fine: it only contains nice examples, neatly classified into math
areas. So, to me, using something like gist is not motivated as a way
to improve quality of interacts in the wiki. Maybe as a way to keep
them current. Maybe to encourage more Sage users to participate.
Different motivations would suggest different tools. Don't know what's
the main goal. Will keep adding interacts to the wiki while they
mature to get into sage.
