- We don't have to worry about hosting it ourselves.
- It's hosted on a DDOS hardened globally distributed CDN instead of
one single VM.
- More standard markdown instead of a the moin moin wiki custom format.
- Revision history stored in git; you can easily clone the whole wiki,
work on it offline, and push it.
- Better antispammer measure and account management handled by Github.

- listing sage days
- there's a nice list of interact examples: https://wiki.sagemath.org/interact

Look at https://wiki.sagemath.org/RecentChanges to see what people
*do* use the wiki for.  E.g., there's been a lot of activity on a page
"Coding Theory in Sage: A collection of ideas and long-term goals for
Coding Theory in Sage, and the people interested." today by several
people.

There's even a recently modified page here
https://wiki.sagemath.org/Debate/Collective%20infrastructure%20management
that has a bunch of arguments *against* moving hosting of sage-related
services from universities to third party cloud hosting services
(Github, Google, etc.).

That's definitely a very good use of this wiki (or any other sage one).
