Idally, it\nwould be nice if you work on a feature/ bugfix that you'd personally\nlike to see.\n\n-- Ram\n\n[1]: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git-devel?date=2011-03-31#l323\n[2]: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170670\n"},{"id":"165104","messageId":"BANLkTikJWmn6FJatTbuf7d67QF=xu6heRQ@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"26960","inReplyTo":"20110403150108.GA1480@kytes","subject":"Re: GSOC 2011: git on Android","fromName":"Sebastián Ventura","fromEmail":"lomegor@gmail.com","sentAt":"2011-04-04T11:38:53Z","receivedAt":"2011-04-04T11:38:53Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"lomegor@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"Thanks for answering!
