It's all too distracting for me - "oh, something shiny with moving parts..." That said, i do appreciate (==love/hate) the power of marketing and i would be very appreciative if someone would take over such a role :). How does the title of PR Manager sound to you :)?

The basics are in place and working but there are months of work left in the lib-level SCM-related components and about a thousand unit tests to write, and then several more months for things like network sync. i also don't want to propagate the home page link too much at this point because i will rename the repo as soon as we decide to settle on the name libfossil ;). Last week i had the advantage of having a week off of work, and got far more done on the code than i had hoped to, but i won't have any more time off until probably October, so i'm restricted to what i can get done in ~6 hours/night plus weekends. The point being only that it's moving steadily but not quickly, and is not something someone will be able to just sit down and use for at least a few months (and at that point it'll almost certainly be limited to local usage, but local app-embedded SCM is one of my primary goals here).
