- Caveat on approval about allowed protocols

+The point for restricting the URLs to the mentioned protocols was that they
+shouldn't link to automatically updated ressources. This has been replaced by
+an explicit specification and a recommendation that http/http should be
+favoured over ftp/svn/gopher/etc to make the implementation for automated
+update discovery tools easier (they should of course ignore URLs they can't

+Various ways to track commit statistics were discussed, such as cia.vc and

+with ohloh people already. ohloh would require some modifications to ohcount to
+recognize ebuilds and eclasses, and a full copy of the cvs repository to start,
+but it seems worth exploring. Betelgeuse said he would tar up a copy of the
