Can you provide me with your GitHub username? I did a git-svn conversion to a repository there, and I can add you as a member to contribute the code.

One of the main advantages of git/Github is that you don't need to do precoordination like this. He can just fork the repository and start working on it, then send you a pull request when it's done.

True on that, at least I can do a code review first before things gets merged in. I am more than welcome to get anyone else willing to help on this to fork and submit a pull request later.

The repo is at https://github.com/WikiTeam/WikiGrabber.

Its just a few revisions out of date, got to figure out a way to pull changes from the main repository to this unofficial clone. (Note that I can push directly to the main repository on Google Code)

You should still have SVN as a remote that you can pull from to get yourself synced.

I probably have to figure this out, though it isn't of the highest priority due to the small little changes that is happening in the main repo which may probably not have a big impact.
