I'll take the full Git hit just as soon as that professorship comes
through and I no longer have to waste time on things that make money. :)
Actually, last week I reluctantly dumped a bunch of
somewhat-useful-but-not-necessarily-polished-or-finished stuff into
PLaneT packages.
One example of less-finished is
"http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-uri/", but, now that it's been
revived from 2004, it's on a path to being what I want for representing
and manipulating URI, for both convenient scripting use and
high-performance server use.
I've been releasing packages as LGPL, so that people can use them, and
so that they can be forked it I get hit by a bus. But I'd strongly
prefer that people not fork any of the stuff I've released unless I've
declared it obsolete. (If I don't get alienated by forking, I'll be
more likely to release my end-all-be-all time library sooner.) If I do
get hit by a bus, however, I will have fewer objections to forking.
