	Git ideas from GitHub

- ? (Talk/Discussion, 1 hour):
	New git homepage hammering out

- ? (Talk/Discussion, 1 hour):
	Git GUI that even a designer would use

There are still many things that are not clear or undecided. So more input 
is welcome.

The topics suggested on the wiki are:

 * GitTorrent: current state, security considerations, future direction
 * Submodules: how to make a UI for this important feature that is intuitive 
and complete
 * PackV4
 * JGit, quo vadis?
 * Using Git for everything but source (Git as a backup tool, how to handle 
large blobs, using as a DB back-end, etc)
 * How to make Git more attractive to the Google Code folks?
 * Success/War stories (big wanking session for Gits)
 * perl.git - the joy of grokking Perforce metadata using Postgres, and 
writing a transactional git-fastimport exporter SamV
 * Linkable library for basic object access (libification or new library)
 * Scriptability, using git in other languages (using interfaces vs calling 
plumbing vs reimplementting) 
 * Git GUI that even a designer could use (GitCheetah, AKA TortoiseGit?) (UI 
session?)
 * Git integration with IDE, RAD, and editors (UI session?)
 * New Git Homepage hammering-out (UI session?)
 * Shawn's current bundle related secret project
 * TopGit introduction/design/integration(?)
 * Pasky's current pickaxe related "secret project" (if tangible by then)
 * Extending Git with volatile metadata database (see 
[http://mid.gmane.org/20080910164045.GL10360@machine.or.cz 
20080910164045.GL10360@machine.or.cz])
 * Git improvement ideas gleaned from creating and running Git``Hub as a 
social layer on top of Git
 * Git Survey 2008 results and discussion
 * Free form "We tried to use git in our project this way, didn't work very 
well" session, where participants are not allowed to say "Your workflow is 
broken".

Thanks,
Christian.
