Using Ignite style lightning talks for brown bag presentations?

linking git and todo lists

Desired: I'd like to be have my git commits reference some higher order/level task or todo list. Background: I use Git as my version control. Now, DVCS is great.

Programmers knowledge base web-based software?

Hi. I'm looking for some software (preferrably written in php or ruby) to maintain my own knowledge base.
