Earlier quoted context omitted.

Taken to its logical conclusion, it will produce Emacs.

I hope no one adds the 'M-x skynet' mode, or we're all screwed.

I'm sure we'll be fine: http://xkcd.com/1046/

Is it possible to give everyone push access?

I just pinged github/twitterverse to see if they have any ideas.

Create a new GitHub account, give it write access to the repo, generate a fresh RSA keypair, post the private key.

And lisp will be there

I hope so. Once I'm done my exam I plan to add a super small lisp interpreter.

I've never used Python but looking through the code I think I'm starting to pick it up a little bit.

Think this maybe the first repo I've seen with more forks (224) than stars (132)

I can say I was initially not convinced this would take off. 175 pull requests later I've changed my tune. Now that we know there is a large talent pool interested in such a task, I wonder how much structure could be added before interest starts to subside. Surely something fantastic could come of this, but we just proved it needs a bit more direction.
