The following projects have been moved to git repositories at GitHub to facilitate better contribution:

• mkvdts2ac3 – Bash script for converting DTS to AC3 audio inside Matroska (MKV) files.
• Polyreviki – Multiple key-value pair storage system for Python with revision control.
• PyCache – Rudimentary caching mechanism written in Python (PHPCache port).
• SMSBarrage – Mobile application which allows mass, repeated SMS messaging to numbers for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile platforms.
• SMSMorse – Android service which vibrates incoming SMS messages in Morse code.
• SMSPoll – Android utility which allows you to conduct multiple polls via SMS and visualize their responses.

Git is a distributed repository written by Linux founder Linus Torvalds to manage the development of the Linux kernel. While the learning curve of git is somewhat steeper than SVN (or CVS), the benefits it provides justify the extra time needed to become accustomed to its commands. The SVN history for each of the above projects has been imported into their individual repository and deleted from my public SVN.

GitHub is an advanced web frontend for git repositories which introduce a social component in addition to their repository hosting. Users can easily browse source, fork, manage branches, and even update files directly from the site. I encourage all users to sign up and follow any projects they might be using. If you have improvements you can now fork and contribute code. If not, as always, I welcome any suggestions via email.
