Thanks for your encouragement. I subscribed to this list a couple of
months ago, but I hoped to get this navbar working before discussing
further about visual aspect. I also suppose every subscriber of the
visual list reads this list to, so it would be visible anyway.

By fork, do you suggest to create one more account then a third Plinth
repository on github? Isn't it preferable to push to existing
repositories, avoiding confusion to new contributors? By confusion, I
mean it's not easy to get a clear picture on what has been done if one
has to browse multiple repositories for the same piece of software.

Also, is it reasonable to encourage to give to centralized platforms
names and e-mail addresses, and accept their terms of service? I know
hosting code sounds harmless, its just about the principle.

I added two points in the Plinth section. I agree with people who said
on an other thread that the wiki is not suitable for bugs and feature
request tracking.
