Wikipedia shows the diff between each article. Is this really a necessity or
is just allowing maintainers to include a change log and release notes
sufficient?

The point is, if you asked me, what we accomplish on our end should be
minimal. We should not have to provide any project development solution like
source forge does. Instead, we could allow the maintainers of their project
to control it however they wish. If they want to set up an svn repo
somewhere, that's great. If another person wants to use git, that's cool
too.

Each project and contribution to Agavi will be different and likely be
suited better with different tools. What if we just provide them with some
space to publish web pages where they can arbitrarily describe their
project? This would be easy to do for a first release. As more and more
projects fill in, we can observe the similarities between them and improve
upon our system by providing tools that will allow everyone to solve that
similar problem faster. This is just my idea.

You seem to have been doing a lot of thinking on this project Benjamin that
I am not well informed about. Could you share the rest of your ideas so that
we can discuss them too?
