Not necessarily. Some of us dislike web based tools intensely, in fact anything that does not work well in Emacs ;-). In practice, I will not participate in projects that, for instance, use slack or discourse or ... Requiring the use of github for interaction would lead to a reduction in the (albeit rather small) contributions I make to this project. A mailing list (or nntp) plus git is perfect for my working methods. > This is a hobby project and it would be cool if it could be something > else at least for someone! Why cool? What's cool is that so many contribute, in a wide range of ways, without some financial recompense! -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4.2-143-gc822c8
