Herein lies the beauty and value of email (and IRC) to me.

Should contributors be working on the official website wiki, or the
GitHub site? It seems that all other discussion has been about the wiki.

Not as difficult as it was to implement the technical achievements of
GNUstep; so it's possible. Sure, it's not as fun as writing the code,
but it's necessary for the project to continue existing and for new
developers to create software using GNUstep.

Isn't a GitHub wiki essentially a markdown file?
The only value I see of using something more complex than that is if we
could tag tasks by priority, assignee, status, etc., similar to the
tasks already in Savannah[1] (although, it doesn't look active any
more). I know GitHub has a Projects feature, but I've never used it.
