Trying out Git
A while ago, the Psi development team switched from Darcs to Subversion for version control, because the Darcs pros (distributed, extremely simple and elegant) did not compensate for the cons any longer (slowness, non-scalability, ‘infinite’ merges, lack of community and tools, …). Our development was pretty central anyway at that time, so we decided that Subversion was good enough. However, we started to miss local commits more than we thought we would, and some of us are working on their own forks, which makes Subversion a suboptimal choice. We are therefore currently trying out Git as a replacement, which should bring us all the good stuff from Darcs, combined with the speed and portability of Subversion. Note that during the experiment, we will not be updating our Subversion branch any more (which will soon cause breakage, since Subversion automatically updates changes to the external Iris repository).
WiGit: A Simple Git-based Wiki
For a while now, I’ve been looking for a simple wiki to manage my personal notes and to do some basic shared editing. After looking through the vast number of wikis on WikiMatrix and still not finding what I was looking for, I ended up doing what hundreds have done before me: wrote my own wiki, and threw it on the pile of exitsing ones.
