The school example and friends uploading pdfs to GitHub are both uses that GitHub encourages.
Using GitHub Issues as a forum and a source for generating status pages are both ok from a use/abuse perspective, but you may not have the best experience since that isn't what Issues is intended for.
- takluyver 11y agoThe issue tracker on new repos has a 'question' tag by default, so Github are gently encouraging using issues as a forum. Though my inner cynic says that makes sense for them - issues tie a project to Github more than the git repo itself does. It should be fine to come up with new ways to use Github, as long as it's not causing excessive load.
