Indeed, I'm mainly interested in pragmatic use. As indicated "cheat notes". I think I was at Ian's presentation, but somehow did not grasp what I needed to know the other week. And as with so many powerful tools, the devil is in those easily forgotten details. Unless my memory is really bad, I don't think we've had anything much on the Web interface(s), and my guess is that casual users like me could take advantage of those. I failed to issue the pull request via that route, in fact.
