It certainly would have been more useful if it had a disclaimer at the beginning indicating that it was written by a Passenger developer. It's OK to have biases as long as you're up-front about them.

You mean the URL (github.com/FooBarWidget/passenger) and the fact that the Github page says that the wiki belongs to the "passenger" repository, aren't enough of a disclaimer?

The "License and price" section at the beginning is also worded in such a way that it should be clear that the text came from the Phusion Passenger authors.

To be fair, I only associated the name FooBarWidget with passenger after figuring out you are the author on the project.

Any reason why you do not keep it with the company repo https://github.com/phusion ?

Historical. The Phusion Passenger repository started in 2008, when Gitub did not yet support teams. We never moved it because there are so many links to FooBarWidget/passenger.

I think Github will automatically set redirects for you if you move a repository around.

Really? A few months ago when I tried to move a repo Github showed a big warning, explicitly telling me that they do not setup redirects. Maybe that has changed now.

Redirects are new, so probably.
