Unfortunately though it seems only 3 of us out of 855 current subscribers to the git mailing list have anything to say on the subject in the past couple of days. :-\ > However, I simply do not have the time to serve as primary contact.

I found it very interesting last year. > As for projects, I imagine that Gitorrent, further builtinification and > Windows support would be good candidates. Yea, Gitorrent would be cool. Especially since send-pack is somewhat heavy on the server's resources and there are some very popular projects offered in git format (hello Linux kernel!). I'd love to see new features added to git-gui, but I'm being selfish. Ditto with jgit and egit, though I think Robin has done a stellar job with them thus far. I can still want them to grow. pack v4 (or maybe v5?! a student could have better ideas then we have thus far come up with) would also be interesting. My list could probably go on for a bit. -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
