I really hope i never develop a case of ANALphylactic sock. That sounds horrible.

@TheGnuMaster Did they cite which video or comment or publication they were acting on they felt was hate speech? I'd love to review the case before taking a stance.

@TheGnuMaster What is the reason for being shut down?

@mngrif hiking, keep em dry?

@mngrif I can support a terrabyte. Particularly since its minimal access. Id put it on infrequent access S3 and probably be fine

@sozialwelten I'll add it to the list I like.

@sozialwelten Let me take a closer look

@timorl In Qotos case it would be STEM Projects (collaboration, discussion, advice, coordination, etc). I could see many uses STEM Projects could have for aa discourse host.

@Gargron BTW kudos and focusing on documentation. It is where so many projects fail over time. I struggle with it myself sometimes but keep trying to be better.

@Gargron
Here is the documentation for one of my OSS projects (Ferma). It is generated directly from *.md (markdown) files that sit along side the code.

You can see the repo here (it is generated from the docs folder): https://github.com/Syncleus/Ferma

I used software called mkdocs, fully open-source. Not as nice as gitbook really but I find it gives a pretty clean looking template.

By the way if you like it and want to adopt the look and tech your welcome to steal my stylizations. I wrote it myself but its open source so feel free to steal.

@Gargron
I cant deny that, it does look very beautiful. Let me find one of my projects that uses a somewhat similar OSS solution so you can compare an alternative, one sec..

@rusty
Oh nice! I'd still be reluctant though. It reminds me of when my Aparapi project had a open-source license exception from intellij. We moved all our devs over to it. They changed their ToS though later and pulled the license and all our devs were left with broken build environments unless I payed a few thousand a year.

For that reason I am very cautious of getting locked in to commercial services. I will use them but only if i can easily export and move to their standards should the need arise. I can do that with gitlab (so i use it) but not sure that would be true of gitbook, so I dont.

I do agree though GitBook looks very sexy and they did a nice job.

@Gargron

@Gargron Yea I could do that. But i also dont like to get my open source investment to be "locked into" a commercial solution. What if they later decide to raise their prices or jsut decide to block the account because someone from Iran contributed or something. Its the same reason I decided to move off github to a self-hosted gitlab. At least gitlab is open-source so they cant raise prices and cause me to be too locked in. I can just switch to CE

@Gargron Yea :( they do have a free tier but thats only for 2 users. Any more than that youd have to pay.

I dont mind paying for myself but if i required that of my devs on any of my OSS projects I would lose a lot of devs.

@Gargron Yea I thought it looked nice. The lack of open-source was a killer for me though. I cant use services that people need to pay to use on an opensource project :(
