a while ago I announced the UGFWIINI contest, a glorious battle of ideas
how to

	Use Git For What It Is Not Indended

As most of you probably did not find my blog yet, this may come as a
surprise to you, but it will not be the only surprise in this email.

A shame that I didn't see the contest start. I would have had
a number of cases to add using Git

  - to track your ~ (cf. http://vcs-home.madduck.net)
  - to track /etc (cf. http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/)
  - as the backend for a service like snapshot.debian.net
  - as a mail store and complete replacement of IMAP

anyway, enter me for round 2!!

Sure!

But I deem the first two being trumped by the large media...

If you could point me to the IMAP thing, I'd be interested personally, as 
I use Git to track all my mails in maildir format.

Ciao,

This is also related to Martin Krafft's idea to sort of replace the 
Debian packaging management by using Git, but...

I had this idea? Well, maybe something related: vcs-pkg.org, which
is about using distributed VCS for distro package maintenance.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Anyway, thanks Johannes for the fun! :)

You're very welcome!
