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 In many cases the activities on ASLO have been superceded by ones on gitHub or other git repository but are not available to our users.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

Cordially,
