[Nix-dev] Spam on the wiki - reminder

[Travis Reeder]

Regarding forking github wiki's, you can via the wiki's git repo, eg:
https://github.com/iron-io/iron_mq_ruby/wiki/_access , but you can only
access it via git cli.

Perhaps better is using Github Pages, http://pages.github.com/ , then you
get full github support for it so people can use github forking, pull
requests, issues, etc. Makes it much more collaborative. And you can use
Jekyll with it so you can write pages in markdown and/or HTML. We do all
our public docs with it for those reasons, eg:
https://github.com/iron-io/docs
