That would be nice.  I'm very happy with git.

The wiki should be fine: cairographics.org/roadster/* works for me.  How
do I create a new page in ikiwiki, with the bog standard wiki account
(user: jgarrett)?  I didn't quite see how to do that.  I do like the
idea of using git to edit the wiki.

Also, it would be nice to have a place in the bugzilla for roadster as
well.
