jed, With all due respect much of what you said is simply wrong. Some is related to its beta (or TiddlyWiki) status, You and others are making assumptions and not investigating it properly. I have full control of this now open use network and can share control with multiple administrators and users even on a per group level, It has a great deal of advantages over GG and Possibly many other potential solutions, it also has its limitations (some of which we already have covered in GitHub) but the ability to export our own data etc... all exist.
As I stated before, if people use it and identify show stopping limitations, they will at least inform us of what we want in a future solution. I was going to spend hours explaining, promoting and countering misinformation to promote this as a solution at least to be considered by a set of people keen to see this resolved, but I thought we were all adults here (I am not saying you are not), and that I may have elicited sufficient respect over the years with my contribution that some people would take a serious look. Have an open mind. Especially since I have said I believe it a viable solution given I have being involved in a 45,000 person network before. I am sorry, but there seems to be too much fear of change, to even consider a change, that even if we do build a new solution, my expectations are that it too will be relatively ineffective compared to what we could have, if there was a greater dialogue on such things. Personally I would and have signed up to any proposed possible platform to investigate myself when others proposed it. I will not make a rod to beat my own back over this. My contribution is big enough to not need me to spend a lot more time "pushing s--t uphill" and trying to act in the communities best interest by asking people to consider the advantages of one solution.
