there can be a transition

first step is migrating the data into the new format

next is keeping track of the way the data being put into it is disorganised, and especially investigating the actual code of those who are contributing to measure against what they have pushed to their PRs

i don't think a whole new protocol is required, just some competent, adequately paid moderators who make sure vandals don't mess up the talk pages and make them useless

it just really doesn't translate to a git repository

do you want to have 65535 separate folders for kinds? they have to exist!
