I love git! I was using it to pull the old SF.net documentation.

That should work well. I also have the server provider set up to do
twice-daily images of the disk, but I would hope to use those only in a

cron job to make those xml dumps and push them to github.

That would be fine.

adrelanos, do you happen to have a SVG or PNG of the whonix logo? I

Thanks everyone, and keep up the great work so far!
