(Hint, hint.) I would be happy to talk about / introduce at least the second one, since I've done most of the work on the pure-ruby implementation of git in the Grit project, which is one of the more popular of the re-implementations out there (and runs the GitHub site). I would also be happy to help with a discussion on the first one, since I added it to the wiki in the first place and it is heavily connected to the second topic. I very much want to see a library that provides basic Git object access that we can use to write proper bindings in Ruby/Python/Perl. If the current Git code is too difficult to libify properly, then perhaps an alternate C implementation that is built only for that purpose is preferable to having a re-implementation in _every_ language. Looking forward to the discussion.
