Hi all
it is not an entirely fair statement. For instance, I put quite some time on
showing that it was possible to use Ikiwiki, and therefore Git. Sure, that
meant not only leaving CVS, but also leaving WML, so I understand that it was
not what people expected, but yes, sometimes people have backed their proposals
with real work !

The demo site is unfortunately gone, but trust me, it was looking quite
close to the original :) The main reasons why I did not promote this further
were a) it was greeted by a Great Silence, b) Git was still quite controversial
at the time, c) the PO plugin of Ikiwiki had hiccups, and of course d) the
proposal to quit using WML was definitely unpopular.
Have a nice day,
