#2So now we have open source questions? Really? "open source" questions?

Yes. The source to the code containing the collection is open. Hence, open source.

#4To make it really open, would be better if the collection was stored as Github issues. Less shiny website but easier to add and no curation process (PRs may be refused, aka censored)

Yeah, source as in text form, not some binary that your brain compiles those letters into!

Not every open database should be on Github...

#8Their very first example question is "Do you use source control?", taken from a year 2000 post of Joel on Software.
I think this is no longer a good question. (The answer will almost certainly be the affirmative, and the person asking it might sound unaware.)

I don't think it is unreasonable to ask something like "What's your strategy for source control?" - not everyone uses git for everything and even if they do there is plenty to talk about.

Good point; the question could be, "What source control do you use?" Or ask about unit testing, CI, deployment, etc.
