"we just all work on whatever is most interesting to us"
Unfortunately, this will likely never be some of the things that bug their customers the most -- such as the wiki that's been wrong since before they launched.
- mojombo 17y agoYou'd be surprised how often "the things that bug [our] customers the most" quickly become interesting to us. In this case, prioritization has played a huge factor. Wikis have been on our minds for a long time, it just happens that other stuff has taken precedence.
- dlsspy 17y agoI appreciate the response, and continue to be a happy (paying) customer as I do think you guys do a pretty good job of working on stuff. A lot of really nice features can be found on github, and a lot of interesting technology has come out of github since I've started using it (which is a few days short of two years now). The wikis remain pretty much trapped in time, though. I can easily imagine what an awesome github wiki would look like, but I also understand that migrating to it would be a huge pain. In the meantime, I just can't use it. github pages is awesome and it's almost, but not quite a substitute. I wonder how much of the problem would go away with gh-pages as a mob branch...
- kneath 17y agoRemember, we are some of our biggest customers. We use GitHub every day to build GitHub - from hosting the code there, to using the wiki for planning, to issues for bug tracking, to code review — everything. Also remember that we are owners & collaborators on some of the largest OSS projects on GitHub. What bugs you most likely bugs us ten times more. There isn't a feature on the site we don't use extensively.
