I had a similar idea (http://arclanguage.org/item?id=809), although without the particular innovation of granting anyone commit rights.

I like the idea of using a distributed revision-control system more than a client-server one like Subversion, so people can make their own personal commits and push around patches to each other at will. I think to some extent it mitigates the need to give everyone commit rights since everyone's on an equal footing.

That said, I think it's still a cool experiment. I'd just like to see the repository in a format that can get patches from the git network (that is, granted, only composed of me at the moment).

I like git. I thought doing exactly what you did. I went with subversion because it was simpler (I know svn better than I know git) and because it makes the Wikipedia analogy work.

Let's see what happens, shall we?

Okay, sounds good. I'll set up a wiki branch of my git repo mirroring it.

I was going to ask you to reorganize the directories so that they'd work better for mirroring, but then I realized it was a wiki, and did it myself. I hope you don't mind.

Update: There now exists git://nex-3.com/arc-wiki.git, with anonymous push access.

  $ git clone git://nex-3.com/arc-wiki.git
  $ cd arc-wiki
  ... edit stuff ...
  $ git push
You don't even need a fake username-password :). It has all the patches in the Subversion wiki as of this writing, and it's based on my existing git repo, so patches can easily be sent back and forth.
