From what I can tell there is a lot of good stuff on the Wikia site. I just really wish that it didn't have to be so tightly tied to the specific hosting site that it's on.

And I should mention participation-wise: I would *like* to contribute to something on GitHub. These days it's becoming increasingly uncommon, in my experience, to find a programmer type who does stuff and does not have a GitHub account. Quite to the contrary, I do not have any account on Wikia. I first *heard* of Wikia when I started coming across some of the tips on the Vim wiki there. I do not voluntarily spend time on that particular hosting site and I do not want to set up yet another account on yet another site when the proportion of use would be so much in favor of something like GitHub, which I use basically every day for all kinds of projects and where it is by the site's very nature easy for me to make or suggest improvements.

While we are on Wikia etc.: Thanks to Ben Fritz, John Beckett, and all the others who help or have helped to maintain or edit or contribute to or set up the Vim wiki there. :)
