I will take this opportunity to add a few comments and promote a page. To help improve chances of success for such a project, perhaps a "community" edition of the protocol is in order. I have been planning (and still are) to do a review of the protocol specification with input from the mailing list. Basically, I am thinking to break the current RFC document into self-contained chunks: a formal introduction + goals, meta file and tracker part, and finally repository serialization and peer wire. In preparation, I started to populate pages at: http://gittorrent.googlecode.com/ If there is interest I will try to find time to restart this process. -- Jonas Fonseca
