Honestly? I don't think git will make that big of a difference, but a |
23 |
wiki system would certainly make me want to contribute more. I always |
24 |
mess up the syntax and it ends up taking me twice as long as it should |
25 |
to do documentation, which is a real de-motivator. It's not that the |
26 |
syntax is hard, it's just that I so infrequently do documentation that I |
27 |
forget things. :/ |

Anyway, good luck, you have my vote for project lead. |
