[nycbug-talk] a new direction for NYC*BUG

[Jesse Callaway]

(top post)
Wow thanks to admin. The idea of having meetings and project
incubation tools together is awesome.

I think gitweb fits nicely into the model as a tool. Actually, I'm not
up on all the names of the various git + web projects out there, but
one of those git hosting situations...

I for one have a ton of collected shell/utility scripts collected/hacked-on over years- and I'd love to dump them somewhere quazi-communal?  Heck, I even have a ton of collected configs for various things that make my life easier- and I'd love to share it (esp. in some place where it may get feedback/better?)
