Thank you for this-- just the reply I was looking for. Out of curiosity, which man pages need the most work right now?

How about the fetch and push man pages: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fetch.ht... http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.htm... Even the summaries are terrible: git-fetch - Download objects and refs from another repository git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects Now, I haven't been a git newbie in ages, but I imagine a beginner asking "what is this objects a…

Man pages are suited to be as terse and technically correct as possible. I say leave the wording that is easier on beginners to web tutorials and books.

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.

Congrats for a great startup weekend. 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. [1] http://gistcube.com

Cool drop shadow.

Thx man, was my first attempt to design anything.

that page is purdy but it really should explain what it's about. what's the plan. all i can tell is that it involves Git and they want an email. to be more specific: what is it beyond what we already have today with something like GitHub?

For developers, we're about connecting them to projects that they'll likely be interested in contributing to; these projects may or may not be most forked or trending. A lot of repository identification is word of mouth which, for those on on the outer rings of the open source community, may be lacking. We want to change that. For maintainers, we're about finding developers to fill the needs of their projects. Open s…

thanks! i recommend putting something like what you said on the project's home page, or, just a link off of it.

Text is cut off on the right side of the boxes on iPhone. I love the idea though.

Shit. We totally didn't even think about mobile our bad. Once we get some sleep and probably get back from our day jobs, we'll see what we can do about it.

Not a huge problem, just polishing.
