Hello Marc,

Thank you very much for giving me heads up on what is out there and potentially could be of use. The only problem here is that we seem to have a different take on how the project should work.

My goal
- We need one person to serve as a door keeper to the project (something like the linux kernel project) the main objective here is to fight spam and verify that the tip actually works.
- Users should not be allowed to edit the content on the main site, all tips would be submitted on github via pull-request or simply editing a file. (Again trying to fight spam - I don't think a spammer would want to go through such pain)
- To avoid information overload, I propose that tips would be released to the public in an increment of 5 tips every week. It is going to take long time but we need to start from somewhere.

In the next coming weeks I am hoping to write a command line utility that will enable users to submit tips from the CLI, possibly somebody else could create a vim plugin to make this available from inside VIM.

Finally, with the amount of feedback and support that I am getting on this project I have migrated the project from my personal github account to a github organization account.

Let me know what you think - Its an open source project is heavily driven by the community.
