- aspir 14y agoI wouldn't consider this abuse of the tool. I'm also learning a few things about the home improvement process from this. Isn't that the point of the open source movement -- shared knowledge for the improvement of others?
- simonbrown 14y agoI don't think free public repositories are gift to the open source community, but freemium system designed to get people to convert to paid accounts with additional features. This project doesn't require the additional features.
- aspir 14y agoActually, there are no extra features with GH's paid plans, from what I remember. Paying enables private repositories, and all of the good stuff is still available for open source projects.
- holman 14y agoWe don't view it as an abuse at all! We dig fun uses of GitHub like this. Carry on, and good luck with the house.
