Here are some places to get you started on writing your proposal: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/index.html (the full API documentation -- priceless) http://libgit2.github.com/api.html (the usage guide, with examples) https://github.com/libgit2 (the list of language bindings, so you can see real-life usage samples) Also, I have to agree with Jeff once again: Start researching and impress us with an awesome application that shows how are you planning to solve the problem you are facing -- in this case writing a minimal git client. Remember that the sooner your application gets on Melange, the more feedback it will receive!
