    Gollum enables use of a wider set of markup languages than MediaWiki. In particular AsciiDoc and Org mode. It seems like creating plugins for it would be easier, for example adding functionality to post comments by xmpp.

    I think about making a little bit propaganda. Has somebody ordered hexagon shaped stickers (like https://nlnet.nl/hex/ which shows Dino, Kaidan, Libervia, Monal) in the EU? Maybe even in DE? I need a good, cheap, fast (in that order) supplier. TIA!

It seems like creating plugins for it would be easier, for example adding functionality to post comments by xmpp. Interesting that there are also useful built-in plugins, but today I explored Gollum more and I realized that to update a page you need to do it with git. I updated a project 12 or 13 years ago with git and I remember that it’s not as user friendly as editing a page directly on the web. As wikis usually are. I think a good thing about wikis is that they are super easy and even people without informatics skills can contribute easily ↺
