It seems Joey Hess is in the process of getting git-annex assistant crowd funded. I had not been keeping up to date too much in the last year with git-annex partly because it met my needs and I never needed to upgrade to the latest tip.
There are a number of really cool features now which is making git-annex more accessible. I particularly like how the merge and sync workflows have now been pretty much scripted so there is less to go wrong!
Once the Dropbox like features get implemented git-annex will be pretty interesting, it won’t be a complete clone of Dropbox due to the way that git-annex deals with files (using symlinks), it will be a pretty good alternative to Dropbox. I wish smudge filters were on the roadmap as well.
