Idea from today's JCP EC call

[Mani Sarkar]

Hi Ben,

Great idea.

>From a tech point of view how would you want to scan these - a cron job
that wakes up every few hours and lists all the repos/projects and new ones
since the last run ?

Also what is the plan for non-github repositories.

Cheers,
Mani
Ps: feel free to pm me if necessary
