You have missed at least one: the minimum technology requirement for using Github is a lot more stringent than for Roundup. Github's minimum system requirements are higher, and it doesn't degrade as well, so moving to Github will make it much harder for those who are using older technology. If not exclude them altogether.
Is that Git or GitHub? If the latter, more JavaScript bits or something else?
I'm referring to Github. I expect it is probably Javascript. Clicking hyperlinks is fine, but things like buttons with dropdown menus, the hamburger icon, the Clone/Download button etc do nothing when I click on them.
For what it's worth, I'm not using an ad blocker but I am using a moderately old Firefox.
Document this kind of thing, that is fine. But a *separate* issue is that we *should not try* to cater to people who cannot use a modern up to date self updating trustworthy web browser. A browser more than a few months old is a security risk; *we* are not going to enforce that concept, but we shouldn't go out of our way to support it either. The same goes for anyone who disables javascript or uses a content modifying plugins or extensions in their browser. Problems caused by that have a simple solution, it isn't on us to untangle. -gps
