I am in favor of keeping the wiki on wiki.sagemath.org. My two-cents is
that we should either completely switch Sage's development to github
(including the developers' wiki, etc.) or stay on foo.sagemath.org for
various values of foo. It would be kind of (or super) weird to only have
the wiki on github. As long as there is no consensus to move the
development to github, the wiki should stay where it is. (Several
developers, among whom some very prolific ones, have explicitly
expressed concerns against moving to github.)
As for my personal opinion, I prefer the current situation than moving
to github. First because I really like the current system of review and
so on that is on trac (so I do not see any need to move to github),
second due to the recent thread about ethical evaluation of repository
services.
Best,
Bruno

Would you have any interest in moving the wiki
to https://github.com/sagemath/sage/wiki ?
What would be the advantage of doing so?
- We don't have to worry about hosting it ourselves.
- It's hosted on a DDOS hardened globally distributed CDN instead of
one single VM.
- More standard markdown instead of a the moin moin wiki custom format.
- Revision history stored in git; you can easily clone the whole wiki,
work on it offline, and push it.
- Better antispammer measure and account management handled by Github.
What do the Sage developers even want to use the wiki for? Apart from
SageDays organisation.
- listing sage days
- there's a nice list of interact examples: https://wiki.sagemath.org/interact
Look at https://wiki.sagemath.org/RecentChanges to see what people
*do* use the wiki for. E.g., there's been a lot of activity on a page
"Coding Theory in Sage: A collection of ideas and long-term goals for
Coding Theory in Sage, and the people interested." today by several
people.
There's even a recently modified page here
https://wiki.sagemath.org/Debate/Collective%20infrastructure%20management
that has a bunch of arguments *against* moving hosting of sage-related
services from universities to third party cloud hosting services
(Github, Google, etc.).
At SageDays75, we just created (or rewrote)
https://wiki.sagemath.org/Coding_Theory sub-page and propose it to be a
place to discuss long-term goals for coding theory in Sage. Let's see
how it works out.
That's definitely a very good use of this wiki (or any other sage one).
