It certainly would be nice for somebody with Git's interests in mind to keep an eye on the proceedings, just to make sure nothing too disruptive is decided on. But I don't know that we have a particular wishlist of things we'd _like_ to see. The lack of semantic markup in asciidoc (e.g., being able to mark a command-line parameter as such, rather than just a literal) is sometimes a pain, but I think that's also what makes the source documents so readable and generally non-painful to write. As far as choosing a representative from the project, I'd probably nominate you. ;) -Peff
