Hi,

There are a lot of OE based projects around that use an overlay to 
manage their tweaks (e.g. gumstix, openpandora, arago), which has pros 
and cons. A while ago I was talking to John Willis (of open2x and 
openpandora fame) and he liked the idea of mirroring the pandora overlay 
on git.oe.net to make it more visible and to make it easier for OE 
developers to work on making pieces of it upstream safe.
I think a git mirror of poky would fall in this category as well.

What do you think of this?

regards,

Koen
