Installing gitorious on Ubuntu 10.04. Hmm - I already have an Apache2 with SSL running for my Wordpress administration. And I've also set up a DAV server for document synchronization (in case MobileMe is replaced by iCloud and loses the iDisk in the process). Besides, it's sensible anyway, because the iDisk is so slow. I could also install my own Gitorious there and put my own repositories on it. Just blogged about it, but I should really take a closer look at it.

Sync BitBucket and GitHub - Ramanas Blog. If I ever want to switch, or simply want to provide repositories for both git and bitbucket, this could be helpful. Also just to convert repositories.

Issue Bucket. There is also a BitBucket client for iOS, but it is riddled with iAds and unfortunately very limited in features. And it looks more like a finger exercise in surface design - very plain, one could almost say "loveless". But at least you can get to the most important things to look at and it costs nothing.

iOctocat is your GitHub companion for the iPhone and iPod Touch. GitHub is becoming increasingly interesting - there is also an interesting GitHub client for iOS. And it is Open Source.

NancyFx/Nancy. Nancy is already much closer to Sinatra or Scalatra, but is actually based on C# - but maybe you can also just write modules in F# there, the interoperability of the two languages is very high (comparable to Scala and Java).

Bistro. This is now a web framework for F#, inspired by Django (among others). Unfortunately not as lean as Scalatra or other micro-frameworks, but perhaps still worth a look.

scalatra/scalatra. This is something like Sinatra, but not for Ruby but for Scala. It has direct support for Scalatest and also offers some nice features and DSLs to quickly and simply get to the result - could be interesting especially for creating web services in Scala.
