Not to mention the additional value of github pages, integrated issue tracking (with, for example, the ability to close issues via commits), as well as the integrated wiki. Those things are technically not needed but are becoming increasingly important for developers in the Callback community (and increasingly the open source community at large) for whom those features are becoming indispensable. Thanks for adding this to the discussion Ross!
