> In this case the project does actually have a proper website (which btw. is nowhere mentioned on the Github page). Why not just link to the website instead? Is that somehow not cool enough any more?
I can't sympathize at all with your sense of exasperation. I know you feel like you are arguing for a cause, but you're also being condescending.
The purpose of this post isn't to introduce a project, but to announce a significant milestone version release. With that in mind, it makes a lot more sense to link to the announcement post on github. It includes plain language descriptions of the changes, download links, plenty of screenshots, and hardly any SHAs. The website is mentioned at the very top of the main github page, as well as in several other places.
