Hello, I'm new to this forum.
I know you've spend a lot of your time in order to make it like what the game is now. So please are not offended when someone new to this matter has got his/her own thoughts....
I like the idea of "extra information" in SatCom. But why do you want to make Colobot a "always online" game?
Why not have SatCom as standard information that can be expanded to extra information with an offline database backup.
There could be an option to update this database in order to get the least data from github (if there is an online connection). In the meanwhile each data that will be shown as it is but you'l have also has an extra field "as of date ..." so you see how old the data is and if it's necessary to update again.
There could be also seperate files for example: colobot-satcom-update-2015-06.zip that can be downloaded and copied to the colobot-folder and will be used directly in order to update the database. So anybody (with rare or none internet connection) can play still a farely up to date game.
But this doesn't mean you have to shutdown the wiki. Why not have it side by side with github?
