Thanks. Github is one of many. So it fits, but so many other software
suits and frameworks, going back a decade or two.
For example, Usenet?

And, I must mention FLICKR, if only to gain some exposure, even if a
little off topic:-)
I have used FLICKR both as an online repository. But like Geocities,
some thing has changed in the past few weeks (Yahoo being a common
factor!!!)...
I have 28,000 images. I have tags and organised a large proportion, and
used the images in other projects. I have contributed many of my own
images to Wikimedia Commons. Images from FLICKR have been added by bots
as well.
I "moved" a community to FLICKR that did not do well as a Mediawiki. But
thrived on FLICKR.
Compare:
http://deadpubssociety.org.uk/index.php/List
http://deadpubssociety.org.uk/
with
http://www.flickr.com/groups/deadpubssociety/ (over 7,000 images)
I am also active in other "online community" groups on FLICKR. But that
has all changed with the past few weeks, with the new FLICKR which
promotes the image and obfuscates the semantics of the data.
