    Regarding the documentation: I think the current MediaWiki system is already great, because it is based upon very stable free and open-source software. Also, the current version of MediaWiki contains a 'visual editor', which should help users to contribute. Still, the docsify wiki Github looks nice as well, and it is probably easier to keep documentation up to date by working within the same systems (GitHub, Markdown and git) as the code. I would like to help with the documentation on either of the...

    Regarding the code and the forum, I agree with @dpolivaev's and @edo_f's responses. Switching fully to GitHub has many advantages. Moreover, a proper migration of the forum is not really necessary, especially if this forum is kept available read-only. I mentioned GitLab during the community meeting. I talked to a friend who has used it and he says that some features are implemented better, but still, GitHub is currently the standard. To specifically mention a disadvantage of our current structure:...

    I think it's good to reiterate that there are three entities here that can be migrated: The code The forum The documentation These three things can be migrated separately (even though it is good to also look at them as a whole).

    I remember that @boercher hesitated whether we should 'put all our eggs in one basket', so having forum, documentation and code at the same place. Such 'monolithic' (not sure if this is the right word) set-ups can provide an efficient workflow, but also make one very dependent, of course. On the other hand, Freeplane is still being successfully developed here at SourceForge, and I think that this platform itself has not developed a lot in the meanwhile.

    Regarding where to migrate to: GitHub currently seems to me to be the standard for open source software projects. Some (including myself) are wary of it however, since it is part of Big Tech, being a subsidiary of Microsoft. The primary competitor that I know is GitLab and I think it would be worthwhile to compare the two. A choice between the two should depend on their features, but also on our ideological preferences.
