right now... i'm moptivated. just the whole git repo and mtn stuff is a bit of
a hassle. if there is a way we can streamline the way we work (instead of
having to email patches around) i'd.. really like it! remember - fso is not
really meant to be "stable" so i think we sould just make it a bit of a
playground. maybe this comes from the E world where head/unstable *IS*
stable... so there is a fair bit of momentum behind doing things in a way that
doesnt break stuff. and if there are breaks they do get fixed fast. so if we
can have a working git tree we all work on and can git-push/pull from that'd be
great - either that or an svn tree - i don't much care. i'm tempted to set up
an svn tree just so there can  be a direct "playground" where everyone throws
their stuff into (and i know there is mtn - but its going to be killed off)...

anyway - that's all - just hoping to have a streamlined way to work so the
tools and mechanics of working together become a non-issue and we can all work
on our stuff - not on our mechanisms :)
