That is an good news , a good start would be some pointers for beginners and
testers , or some notes in your blog
Also i absolutely love the git/github interface , i love the fact that i can
edit sometime directly the file from the web interface also git is very
powerful tool , light years from svn/cvs

If you start to use the wire protocol directly i think is good to start some
documentation about it
so other languages could implement it (php/perl/oopascal/perl6 or
javascript)

On my to do list is to learn someday ruby and python , from what i have read
and tested i love it's syntax
