First and foremost: blockchain, in its essence, is a document timestamping service. As such, it allows somebody reading it to tell the order of arrival of stored documents (documents themselves being unmodifiable, as they are usually identi

I don't see why you deem Trac worse than GitHub for helping a project.

It would help the project greatly if there was a description what Jerakia actually is, what data it can (is intended to) store, and how/where one would want to use it, instead of merely comparing it to Puppet's Hiera. If somebody
