l. 26: continious -> continuous
Will this page be linked from anywhere?

I'm not sure what the value of this page is... |
Should show up as a subpage of the about section.
Listing all of our repositories and everything we're doing to protect our source code seems like a good thing to document... might as well advertise all the places we back it up as well. It maybe something known to a few of us, but why not let everyone know? It's pretty impressive how many places our VCS is replicated to in how many forms. |

Small typo here. Artic -> Arctic
* We may want to extend this to include information about backups?

I think in the current state this just results in free advertising for github. We just have to know for ourselves that this exists and hope we never need it. |
|
Perhaps instead of a page on the website, we could include this as an MD file within the source code for Haiku? |

I am working on these stale PRs. I would like the PR list to be empty. Do we want this page or not? I feel like it doesn't really hurt anything. I see some typos though so I would want to fix those first, but I can do it here in GitHub. |

I would fix the date and there is also this typo.

I think there is benefit to this page. At the very least its a reference point for maintainers, etc. on a bit of our infrastructure which we could expand on more in detail down the line. |
