Hi, I am happy we switch to Transifex, the GitHub editor was a real pain and a real blocker for non GitHub experienced people (like me).
Regarding Nick's idea of linking LearnOSM and the OSM wiki for eg https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager, is it possible? It would be great, but I thought LearnOSM has unfortunately another license than the OSM wiki.
