Do you mean gitweb serving http://perl5.git.perl.org/ ? Well, at least publish this version of gitweb somewhere (snapshot or better git repository), and add it to the list of gitweb forks at http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Gitweb wiki page. Sidenote: snapshot support appeared, as far as I know, first at fork of gitweb that had been used by XMMS2, but the snapshot was generated by a separate snapshot.cgi script... written in Python. (Now they use stock (if old) gitweb, I think.) P.S. Perhaps you or other Perl Mongers would be interested in creating yet another git web interface, in Perl, but contrary to (current) gitweb modular and using more of CPAN modules? For example convert SVN::Web or Insurrection (or other Perl module) from Subversion (or other SCM) to Git (and rename it to Git::Web, or ???). P.P.S. Could you per chance post announcement of Git User's Survey 2009 on http://perl5.git.perl.org, just like it is done on http://repo.or.cz and http://git.kernel.org?
