I started a wiki page https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tck/wiki/Branch-naming for recording this decision.

Sort of related to maintenance, in the last community Platform TCK call on Nov 11 [1], we had a demo of how easy (quick quick) it is to add/update Github pages and I do plan to spend some time on moving most wiki content over to that. I won't move the TCK status page until we are used to updating github pages instead.

Essentially, it will work like:

1. The Platform wiki will have a link to https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/jakartaee-tck/ for opening the top most landing page. Open that to view other content.

2. The Platform wiki will also have a link to https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tck/tree/gh-pages which allows anyone to interactively edit a page and either create a pull request or Platform TCK project committers can save changes directly in the browser.

I'm thinking that we could have different folders that represent the different EE versions.

Thanks to Amelia for reminding me that we all voted to make this change. :-)

Now that we have a live demo [1] that shows how to edit Github pages, I think that it is a good time to switch from the wiki to Github pages. IMO, this will also help us in other ways, including improving our "question + answers" page to all anyone to add a question or content.

If you would like to watch the demo, it is near the end of the video call linked in [1] (just under `Nov 13` see `Video recording submitted for processing` link.
