To be fair they have a rather different business model, but the suggestion
was made because it's easy to do *now*, and *because* it's backed by a git
repo.  It's no more reliant on GitHub than doing the bulk of managing our
source code there, and probably easier to move if need be - there are other
potential git-based wiki systems we could migrate to (eg.
https://github.com/gollum/gollum came up while looking at this), and we
could if necessary use some system for triggering a static build on commit
... but, while I agree the website should be a static site, I think a
static site and a wiki are somewhat orthogonal things.  What are the other
options for keeping the essential wiki-ness in your view?

Best wishes,

Neil
