let's not worry about that yet. we can always do the work offline and
submit a big patch. the goal is to code up the new core loop. any source
control we need to use will be for our benefit. and we may not even need
it if we divide the work well and have someone be the source editor.

like i said, we can always bypass source control for the time
being. just emailing source to the list (or only attendees) will be fine
for a quick hack. i would rather people focus on the design and coding
to be done. and few have joined this thread and that needs to improve.
so hop on board and join the (h)ackathon. this will be a chance to learn
some neat perl, help with a popular perl project and have fun.
