It is becoming very clear now that more and more people really "get" Org, a fact that is reflected by the many requests I have seen, most of which totally make sense and play along nicely with the philosophy and structure of Org. I am also excited about the number and quality of patches I have received lately. These indicate that more people are diving into the code and actually manage to understand it. In order to help this process further along, I have started to drastically improve my commit messages in the git repository. I hope that these will serve as a doorway to let interested reader in on the internals of Org. The commit messages enhance each commit with context of the functionality addressed, and with reasons why the implementation of the change is as it is. Credit in this realm goes to Bernt Hansen is continues to patiently educate me about the secrets of git, and how to use it properly. To those of you playing with Git, I also highly recommend a beautiful document[1] written by - who else? - John Wiegley. This document will way helping you to wrap your head around the strange but beautiful and incredibly powerful world of Git. Thanks to all of you.
