We can't directly edit hooks on sites like [Github](http://github.com). However, Github does support [submitting a POST request](http://help.github.com/post-receive-hooks/) to an arbitrary URL when somebody pushes. We've created [zcommit.mit.edu](http://zcommit.mit.edu) to allow people to send commit zephyrs from Github. Now we'd like to extend it to other public code hosting platforms with similar APIs, such as [Bitbucket](http://www.bitbucket.org/help/ServiceIntegration#post) and [Google Code](http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/PostCommitWebHooks). - -_Contact: broder, gdb_ - ## A couple of C/C++ hacking projects * Each AFS cell has its own database of users and groups. If you run `ls`, it will look up users and groups against the local machine's conception of users and groups, so if you take a stock Linux etc. machine and look at most any AFS cell, you'll get a bunch of unhelpful numbers. Make an interface that stands a decent chance of being merged into upstream `ls` to permit it to call `pts examine` (or, rather, the AFS library equivalent) against the appropriate servers instead of `getpwnam` etc. on AFS files.

It would be nice to have some sort of webpage where you could send and view zephyrs. I've written one, but it's not ideal -- in particular, it depends on having a daemon running somewhere to collect and store zephyrs. There's probably a better way, though I have no idea what it is.

I got lazy before actually implementing these specs, but I believe they'd be relatively easy extensions to both zwgc and barnowl (in their respective extension languages, even — no changes needed to core).
