*** Like i have stated above i dont think we are doing a good enough job of introducing kids that code how to code with people and how to share their code and how to document their code. I believe that when this project is completed it will serve as a learning tool that will enable kids to become better programmers with better code that is shareable. I this this is an huge investment in their future and their abilities, too many people come to university level Computer Science having never used a versioning system and having never shared their code. We are no longer in the 70's and 80's where one programmer could do a project on his own, we live in the era of colaboration and we need to include this as part of the curriculum.

***Walter: In addition to expanding the Journal concept to include versioning, forking, and cloning, we want to introduce the learner to some of the cultural aspects of FOSS. What better example than GIT, which is the global medium of collaboration.
