repo.or.cz is a public Git hosting site. Create a project in a snap, publish your development, give others push access and let anyone have a look and contribute. Alternatively, if you just see a random git:// URL fly by and want to check it out, or you have limited bandwidth or want backup – just quickly set up a mirror of any project published elsewhere and we will provide pull and gitweb access for the project, or send you notifications when new stuff gets committed.

As a Californian who has watched for years with morbid fascination as the textbook battles play out in courtrooms, the media, and the state legislature, I’m a bit skeptical that Governor Schwarzenegger’s open source textbook plan will get free books into classrooms in a timely and cost-effective manner. The idea of open source textbooks makes a lot of sense in principle and seems like a very worthwhile undertaking, but I fear that the state will incur some hidden costs while unwrapping its own red tape.
