Hi, sorry for the delay, and thanks for surpassing the theory and starting real projects.

  I have just some comments:

1. EmacsWiki's role is not about sharing Lisp code, but about Emacs in general: tutorials, tasks to do, discussion, questions, bugs, …
  It seems that ELBB's role is limited to code.

2. EmacsWiki can be edited anonymously; ELBB not.
  Maybe a test user could be created and the login date shared so that people can try it

3. EmacsWiki has a web interface
  Probably there are web interfaces to repository which can commit each edit or group of edits



  I think that ELBB is useful, yes, but is not as easy as EmacsWiki. If these things are solved, maybe some sample page can be imported to ELBB so people can experiment with content.
  Maybe an emacswiki-to-org exporter is needed. Are there generic exporters from EmacsWiki syntax to other syntaxes?
