Hi,


Lurker here, using lout for a few things it does very well.

Thanks for lout, and to the community that's offered me
support whenever I've needed it.

I'd like to second the suggestion that lout be placed in
A version control system of some kind. I'd like to 
briefly state the case (and my personal preference)
for using git.
 
+ Distributed version control is convenient 
  since one can work without a net connection.

+ git has an excellent facility for merging branches

+ With more people using git, we reduce the barrier of
  coders to get involved with the project.

However if the most active contributors to lout prefer
SVN, I have no objection.

Regards,

Joel
