Thought I'd ask how y'all are finding the current communication by this forum/website/git repo only.
Would there be a benefit to having an irc channel for git-annex?
Maybe a mailing list? (Any persuasive reason why it would be better than this forum?)
Are the existing RSS feeds on this site, for eg, new comments and posts to this forum, sufficient to keep up with things?

No matter what you end up doing, I would appreciate a git-annex-announce@ list.
I really like the persistence of ikiwiki, but it's not ideal for quick communication. I would be fine with IRC and/or ML. The advantage of a ML over ikiwiki is that it doesn't seem to be as "wasteful" to mix normal chat with actual problem-solving. But maybe that's merely my own perception.
Speaking of RSS: I thought I had added a wishlist item to ikiwiki about providing per-subsite RSS feeds. For example there is no (obvious) way to subscribe to changes in http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git-annex_communication_channels/ .
FWIW, I resorted to tagging my local clone of git-annex to keep track of what I've read, already.

@Jimmy mentioned anonymous git push -- that is now enabled for this wiki. Enjoy!
I may try to spend more time on #vcs-home -- or I can be summoned there from my other lurking places on irc, I guess.
