1-pager draft proposal

Summary

Adds a general purpose, high level proposal intended to establish the broad need for a campus-level git service. Takes benefit to programmers as a given, and focuses instead on value to students and faculty. Does not cover implementation details, which would be handled in a future phase/proposal. Intended audience is department-level decision makers who could authorize further investigation.

Git Service 1-Pager

Review needs

• Impact
  • Does the proposal make a convincing case that a shared git service would be beneficial to students, faculty, and staff?
  • Can assertions be backed up by faculty statements or public data?
• Wordsmithing
  • Check for readability
  • Minimize jargon
  • Add a snappy title
• Sources
  • I lean heavily on github's blogs. Can sources be diversified?
  • Do footnotes match references appropriately?
