I love the idea. A couple of months ago I created gistcube[1], It was a weekend project to learn a bit about Mongodb and Sinatra. Gistcube is a way to discover interesting gist in github. You can vote up, add to favorites, tag gists, and alos sign up to interesting/tags gist using rss.

#23Not really sure what this is/does. Can someone summarize? Is it search/social thing built on github?
Re: Got Hacking? Git Hacking.
#24This seems like a cool idea. You might want to check with a lawyer about the logo up top though, thats definitely GitHub's octocat hiding behind Apple's Terminal.app logo.
No need to consult a lawyer, just open an issue at http://support.github.com and ask if it's okay.
I forget where I read this, but it was someone asking the same thing. I might have been on HN, actually.

No need to do that, they've pointed out in the past that it's a stock image they've bought the rights to use and can not authorize others to use it. I forget where I read this, but it was someone asking the same thing. I might have been on HN, actually.

#28If you aren't a C coder, you can help to improve the documentation (really, just pick a man page, there are many that can use improving). Or, look at it as an opportunity to learn C -- some parts of git are quite advanced, but there's also lots of areas that are easy to work on.
See the git wiki for some areas that can use love:

#30I would like to suggest that folks consider working on git itself. The git mailing list is very friendly and supportive and you will be making a valuable contribution to the git community. You'll also have an opportunity to brush up your C skills with guidance from some excellent C hackers. If you aren't a C coder, you can help to improve the documentation (really, just pick a man page, there are many that can use im…
