If each developer has a trivial web server, they can put their output there, and everyone else can pull from it, because it only needs to serve static files out of a directory structure that the programs create regularly. Of course, this is only strictly different from a public repo in that you don't advertize it beyond the other developers. But it's a within-system equivalent to posting a link to a web-hosted patch set, which people sometimes do to pass things around. > > And so I'd be thrilled to have some site like SF support it. > > Eduforge's charter is to host education-related projects, so that's > not a free-for-all-comers, but I'm considering git support, as our > usage of git is growing. If you contribe the git support to gforge, presumably similar hosting sites will pick it up before too long. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
