That was never the main design consideration of Git, but you nonetheless can make commits and branches when the server is down. Go try it.

> Travis is the _only_ former Sails contributor (i.e. someone with actual write access to our repos)

Again, we seem to define these terms differently. I think if you told the hundreds of Sails contributors that they aren't actually contributors because you haven't given them write access, they would feel rather insulted by that.

> But please realize that this fork is not about technical issues

It's true that I think you're a lying scumbag, but I need a software stack that I can build my business on for the next 2-5 years. Sails.js is obsolete, and these issues stemming from your poor technical competence and community management are thoroughly documented on the internet.

I added them as products to the "Balderdash" company. I think we have different definitions of "deface".

We've been in contact with the owner of tent, and are responding appropriately. Our logo unfortunately does bear a strong resemblance to theirs, which our designers are working to resolve.

I'd hitherto not heard of tent nor seen their logo, and neither had anyone else on our team. Saying that we "stole" it is fine for sloppy internet-talk, but it imbues your statement with a level of accusatory malice that we should try to avoid.

re stock market: A common (and expensive) fallacy of beginners who think they can beat the market with clever technical tricks is analyzing all of the publicly-traded companies' history and divining patterns in trading and such. This ignores, of course, the countless companies that have gone out of business completely or have otherwise been de-listed from the exchanges.

In analyzing these trends, you're biased by looking only at the companies that have done well enough to be on the current list. In this way it's particularly insidious, because you're omitting the very data that might save you from betting on a company that might be delisted.

Yep, good idea. I've produced a number of Sails tutorials and videos as well :) We will be doing a similar series for Trails.
