Dear fans of Git,

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.

Another candidate for UGFWIINI contest: Gitorial. Here is explanation

And similar thing: Homoiconic. Here is explanation

And here is yet another UGFWINII candidate: Flashbake. 
Here is explanation:

  Flashbake is a set of Python scripts that check your hot files for
  changes every 15 minutes, and checks in any changed files to a local
  git repository.  Flashbake records any changes made since the last
  check, annotating them with the current timezone on the
  system-clock, the weather in that timezone as fetched from Google,
  and the last three headlines with your by-line under them in your
  blog's RSS feed (I've been characterizing this as "Where am I,
  what's it like there, and what am I thinking about?"). It also
  records your computer's uptime.

  It is intendend illuminate the creative process in a way that often
  reveals the hidden stories behind the books we care about.
