The point is you won't have to use github. Just edit files in your local
checkout and commit it. For creating a PR you maybe do need it (though
the CLI interface probably can do that as well), but that's much more of
concern for the main nixpkgs code, not the wiki...


If people aren't much against Hakyll, I'll have a closer look during and
hopefully get a prototype during the weekend. I can maintain that
Haskell code long-term, if you like.
