I wrote something about a potential Git Rev News news letter:I read it. Sounds promising. Just one suggestion on the name and half a comment. How would "Git Review" (or "Git Monthly Review", or replace your favourite "how-often-per-period-ly" in its name) sound? I meant it to sound similar to academic journals that summarize and review contemporary works in the field and keeps your original "pun" about our culture around "patch reviews". I obviously do not know how the actual contents would look like at this point, but depending on the quality of the publication I might be able to steal some descriptions when keeping the notes on topics in flight that appear in my "What's cooking" report. And it can go the other way around, too. The publication may want to peek my "What's cooking" report for hints on how to characterize each topic and assess its impact to the evolution of Git.
I'll bet that LWN would publish, or at least link to, such articles on a regular basis, and if you end up doing an in-depth writeup on a particularly discussed topic, they would probably give it pretty good visibility. David Lang
