The traffic here is very developper-oriented and there isn't much room for casual, beginner-level discussion on the use of git. A lot of projects work that way and I think it's a really useful segregation. And it's really not a lot of work to setup... I, for one, don't feel comfortable asking beginner question here (perhaps wrongly). My two cents. -- JR
