And as I said before, if anyone wants to post in gitlog.wordpress.com I can give you permissions; I don't want it to be *my* blog. > Let me quote appropriate question from "Git User's Survey 2009" which > lists possible announcement mechanisms I did think of: > > =C2=A029.

I would recommend against posting on client projects; IMHO that's a bit= spammy. How about contacting big hosting sites; sourceforge, github, gitorious,= etc. ? --=20 =46elipe Contreras
