I can't quite imagine why you would want to install this on a fluffy Linux desktop of a newbie user - surely as this would be something that would go on a server either in a datacentre or at least in the spare room of someone who has half a clue about how to set up a network server anyway. Nice Software Libre assassination though.
I can also see that certain types of groups would not want to use social networking sites which are dedicated to mining their users data for teh evil capitalists to exploit, or that there are taking direct action on something and probably don't want the filth being able to see their events diary
The software might such. I dunno. I just haven't seen a knee jerk as fast as that since the doctor last tested my reflexes.
Actually I have just cloned the Ggit repository and it does look like a totally server oriented package - RoR, Mongrel, rake, capitrano, MySQL - this certainly isn't some desktop application so I'm even more confused by your, er, rant.
Yeah, this is antagonistic and non-informative but that is what happens when I read posts from a few weeks ago, after a few wines and after a day of Java indulgence.
In semi-seriousness: it is a good step towards a common goal. There are many other options. And this is good. If the infrastructure is based on open standards (no, just the 'real' ones) it will run on any compliant platform (not only those from the "Long Spoon of Redmond", wtf is that all about?). This is as it has been, and will be - part of the reason this 'net is here at all - for good or bad.
Choice is good! and other cliches... that just happen to hold true.

Although I do think that 'democratic membership management' is a remarkably bad idea.
