I agree with all points that Tony put forward and especially where GitHub
either directly or indirectly resulted in the reduction of value of the two
sources mentioned. The world is changing, technology at present will become
obsolete at one point of time. The decision of Sugar Labs to keep with the
times, advance, grow, and get new developers associated by migrating its
documentation of activities is a critical for future opportunities and will
help everyone involved.

Like I mentioned in my proposal too that documentation is one of the most
important steps of any project specially if it is open-source. I know that
because of the experience of actually writing and reading it for years
myself. If for users, the documentation is easy to read, easy to edit and
accessible fast. Then I think that helps everybody. Be it users, members
and even developers looking to contribute.

Thanks for your comments, Tony. Will be sure to add them to my proposal. I
really think my project would be beneficial for the community and all its
users involved.

As always, the question is the impact on our users. The traditional 
source of information for users is http://www.sugarlabs.org and 
http://www.laptop.org and, especially the wiki pages. The traditional 
source for activities is http://activities.sugarlabs.org (ASLO). So far 
the effect of gitHub has been to reduce the value of these two sources. 
In many cases the activities on ASLO have been superceded by ones on 
gitHub or other git repository but are not available to our users. The 
documentation of activities on ASLO has never been adequate but now no 
effort will be made to improve it. This continues the trend toward Sugar 
being a playground for the technical elite.

My assessment of project impact;

Originally documentation was separate because we had non-coding
developers and tool chains that varied by type of developer.  Now we
use GitHub the tool chains are combined.

With the project as described, documentation will be concentrated in
the source code repository for an activity, reducing ongoing
maintenance.

We have less active Wiki contributors than we ever did, and in the
current threat environment a Wiki requires significant monitoring and
administration; we recently lost some system administrators and gained
new ones; using GitHub allows us to outsource system administration.

Hello,

I have submitted the first draft of my GSoC proposal and shared it with edit
access permission on Google GSoC website with Sugar Labs. Please review,
comment and write a review how my proposal would help the community. Even if it
is just one line.

I would really like to work on this project under the activity team and
contribute further on Sugar Labs for a greater good.

If you do not have access to the Google GSoC website for Sugar Labs. Hit me up
on @vipulgupta2048 or reply to this thread. I will promptly reply with google
docs link of my proposal.

Thanking you

Can you provide a link to your proposal please?

I do not have access to the Google GSoC website for Sugar Labs.
