I've got some imports of some projects that I am tracking as well.

http://www.progsoc.org/~wildfire/git/

I have not (yet) enabled git-daemon support for them, so anyone cloning them might find it takes a long amount of time. I haven't updated to the most recent gitweb/git lately so it might be a bit slow.

I'll get around to making both git-daemon support available and updating to a newer version of gitweb shortly.

If anyone wants me to track other projects, let me know.

Cheers, Anand
