Migrating away from GitHub is easy? Hum, maybe. But it's a lot more work
than I expected. All those links and references ... Probably going to
break a few in the process. I've been using GitHub for almost 10 years
and it shows.
While doing the migration, I noticed that my README files were not that
great. The new READMEs will follow this pattern:
_ __ __ _ _ __ ___ ___
| '_ \ / _` | '_ ` _ \ / _ \
| | | | (_| | | | | | | __/
|_| |_|\__,_|_| |_| |_|\___|

"name" will be replaced by the actual project name, of course.
I think this makes the repos more "self-contained". No need for a web
page anymore, which shows meta-information about that project. Just put
it in the README.
This means that the old "project pages" (the ones like
<
https://uninformativ.de/projects/xiate/>) will be *removed*.
