I like how Github is taking note about the lack of innovation, and doing the right thing; but I'd like to see the blog post announcements AFTER the feature is implemented. It's like saying "Oh, you're thirsty? I'm going to give you a glass of water, but not yet, next week"

I see a file upload banner when I look at my repos. Probably A/B testing

Probably just rolling out the features slowly is all.

All I want is a Wiki search.... pretty please. Wiki file uploads (images) at very minimum that aren't commited to git. The process now is to create an empty issue, drag the file over, copy the URL and paste it into the Wiki page.

I'd love to be able to search in branches. Especially on projects that commit to master and have release branches when they are between releases.

Hmm, it almost seems like the recent brouhaha lit a fire under GitHub...

That's a false assumption. Features like this one take months to get right -- from design, to ops, to engineering, to support, to marketing, to many more.

Saying nothing never meant we weren't doing anything. It meant we could've been better saying something. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think you are just writing markdown in .org files ^^ So the .md is technically more correct. But really the extension doesn't matter much...

No, he's writing in the syntax of Emacs org-mode, which GitHub also recognizes. Parts of it are similar to markdown, but parts are different. For example, `markdown inline code` vs ~org-mode inline code~, and ``` markdown code blocks ``` vs #+begin_src org-mode code blocks #+end_src And [markdown links]( https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ ) vs [[ http://orgmode.org/][org-mode links]].

Ah yes, I just looked quickly without reading the raw. Shoud have read the raw before writing non sense.

Github pages is now the right way to set up a reasonably-smart-n00b-editable website, IMO.

Maybe for a Hacker News n00b, but a garden variety n00b has not heard of Markdown, YAML, or, for that matter, GitHub. They're going to keep using WordPress, Tumblr and Squarespace.

Works on some of my private repo's. It's being rolled out probably.

Awesome... I can think of 4 or 5 times I have been away from my laptop but still need to update a photo for a client. Glad to see this, otherwise I would have never known it had been added! Slightly brings up an interesting point. With native apps, I usually review release notes upon updating. Webapps get to release whenever they please to little notice of the end user (for better or worse). With releasing new webapp…

Trello does this well, they put up a "What's new!" banner that presumably marks a cookie or localStorage so you don't see twice.

Quick summary of features and a link to a blog post or release notes.
