This is pretty much a playground for a future learning platform. As tools are written, they will also be integrated in a larger application. The goal is to have a virtual classroom for each student, with features like IRC, email and git integrated, with semantic courses, a reasoner which can tell the student which concepts he should practice more, and graphical reports on the student's performance.
Currently, work is being done on understanding the history of git projects, the way they evolve, and in case of multiple commiters, the effort each of them has put into creating a project at hand.
