I'm afraid you got me wrong.

I am pretty happy with current dockapps.git, git-send-email works
just fine when I want to update something.  And on github it is
possible to have several commiters for a single repository.


The only thing I want is an easy way to get tarball of a given
subdirectory inside git repo.  By "easy" I mean "knowing name and
version of a particular dockapp".  gitweb at repo.or.cz can't do
it (look at gitweb/gitweb.perl in git repo how git-archive is
called in git_snapshot()).

Different packagers maintain different dockapps.  Having all
dockapps built from a single source package is not a good thing,
because some dockapps being updated often, some are not.


Step zero is to add tags to the repo.  Without tags you will get
different results each time you call git-archive.

Next, thare are to options:

If we stay at repo.or.cz, simple script will generate tarballs
for all dockapps.  Then these tarballs needs to be uploaded
somewhere.

If we move to github, repo must be split, because github does not
allow checkouting of a subdirectory.  From this point all
tarballs can be downloaded directly from github.


Both ways have its' advantages and disadvantages.  Carlos, can
you also upload dockapp tarballs to windowmaker.org ?
