Hi Daniel,

thanks for your comments.

ELBB is still alpha (not even beta), which means I don't advertize it
that much because I cannot make sure my timetable let me actively
maintain it.

ELBB is code-centric, but I hope good documentation will help make this
code library more useful.  Depends on the users.

ELBB already allows pseudo-anonymity, because on repo.or.cz nobody knows
you're a dog.  (I guess the username imadog is not yet taken.)

I also plan to add the mob user:

  http://repo.or.cz/mob.html

This user will be able to push changes to a dedicated branch and elbb
maintainers will be able to merge these changes.  

This is a limitation, but I hope we can go ahead anyway.

There is a web interface to see elbb evolution:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/elbb.git

There is no web interface to edit elbb directly.
But there is an emacs interface, it's called org-mode.  

When Emacs will know about the obby (or libinfinity) protocol, 
emacs users will be able to edit org-mode files collaboratively,
which will make projects like elbb much more attractive than web
projects like emacswiki.

Yes.  I have to work on it.

I don't know - maybe ask Alex Schröder?

Send me your repo.or.cz username, I'll be happy to add you as a elbb
user.  Thanks!
