Github is not a forum. It a very limited issue tracker. Even as an issue 
tracker it is very hard to use for big teams and complex projects.
- it doesn't support nested issues
- it doesn't support splitting the issue into two
- there is only one issue template
- checklists not always work (you need to edit the comment manually)
- no support for custom anchors to create links to a portion of content (there 
is a hack which relies on markdown corner case)
- the 'project' feature drops new tickets at the top. So ordering of tickets is 
a waste of time.
- the 'project card' is not an 'issue' by default
- no support for deadline for issues
- no support for priorities
- search doesn't support multiple conditions

I think it would be hard to use it as a community knowledge base. It doesn't 
mean we shouldn't try, though.

I think we shouldn't mix different use cases.
We have multiple:
- 1. as a user I want to be able to search old questions
- 2. as a community contributor I want to be able to collaborate on ecosystem 
enhancements projects
- 3. as a developer I want to be able to share designs and code with all 
decision makers
- 4. as a content developer I should be able easily contribute to 
tiddlywiki.com website
- 5. as a designer I should be able to easily demo my solutions and register 
them on a common catalog
- 6. as a translator it should be easy for me to contribute to non English 
content on tiddlywiki.com and tiddlywiki codebase
- 7. As a content curator I should be able to vote and promote good questions 
to a status of an article

I feel like we (people on this thread) have different goals in mind. So it 
would help a lot if we would agree on what we want to achieve.
I do believe that there is no software which would cover all our use cases I 
mentioned above. Discourse is good for #1, github is good for #3, new solution 
based on tiddlywiki itself might be a good fit for project management portion 
of #2.



Best regards,
