I agree. I'd prefer to see sites like "<a href="http://simtk.org" target="_blank">simtk.org</a>" get more traction as<br>
they could easily bridge the community gap that currently exists by<br>
leveraging existing collaborative tools in a single space, rather than<br>
multiple forums, wikis and blogs which have the potential to get stale<br>
very quickly thanks to the maintenance and bandwidth issue.<br>
<br>
Today there is an information overload and everyone wants to use their<br>
time wisely. I tend to agree with this school of thought and being a<br>
'doer' means I gravitate towards tools that allow me to collaborate<br>
and share technical information easily without it being a huge<br>
maintenance time-sink, which git (via services like github, gitlab,<br>
bitbucket, etc..) does very well. Plus, github-pages allows users to<br>
create pretty sites, all a click away so why reinvent the wheel?<br>
