Please enable wiki and issues at github

[Thomas Koch]

Hi,

there has been no objection in this thread[1], that the current D wiki is a 
burden and should be replaced. The only two proposals were the wiki engine 
build inside github (gollum[2], free software) and a Mediawiki instance like 
Haskell.

I propose to go forward with the gollum proposal and enable the wiki 
functionality in the d-programming-language.org github project[3]. In 
addition it might also be a good idea to enable issues in the same project 
to track website and wiki related issues.

Github is a proprietary, non-free, cloud service. But it allows you to 
export all your data. There's the debian package github-backup[5] that one 
can run by cron to clone all data (wiki, issues) related to a github 
project.

Afterwards I'd kindly ask the current wiki4d[5] maintainer Helmut Leitner to 
add a static notice to all wiki4d pages pointing to the new wiki.

Do you agree?
