Should not be a good idea create o new organization on Github and split the site itself and the framework?

Things would be more clear with that, and no unnecessary files on each repo …

@DanielRuf But we always could do better 🥇

Anyway, imho 20 MB is nothing compared to other archives and Bower / npm directories with hundreds of MB dependencies. You always use just a fraction of this. I know, this takes a while and the first install of big projects with an empty cache can take some minutes, this is not unusual.

@Dogfalo @acburst can’t we delete the bin directory as these files should be created with each compilation?

Imho it makes more sense to move the zip task to a release task.

@tomscholz @fega your opinions on this?
