GitHub could put up a voting user-oriented website much like the now discontinued Ubuntu Brainstorm.

I have plenty of ideas for them…

* allow symlinks in the gh-pages branch

* do not `chmod u+x` every text file in zip archives

* actually support `git-archive`

* make rebasing of PRs easier

* look for a contributor's code in a repo

* when looking at a file, have a link showing current PRs editing it

My problem with it isn't the medium for the begging, but that it has to be done by begging instead of doing.

Symlinks work for gh-pages. We use it for linking to the current version of the docs:

Hey electrum, There is a discussion on this matter over [1]. Other people and I still cannot get symlinks to work on gh-pages. Do you have any idea why that is? It could be because of a free vs. business GitHub account…

Cheers
