** Essentially a clone of www.forrst.com for liquid geeks not just designers
and developers.  I'm pretty sure we couldn't do all of this in a weekend, so
trimming ideas, etc. down to a MVP would be needed.

Not really sold on the idea, but maybe it will spawn a good idea or discussion.

Man, I can't remember the name but I found a site a while back that did this in great detail with beer. It was pretty good.

Some links:
http://www.openbeerdb.com/browse
http://www.brewerydb.com/beer

Maybe use open dataabses?

Woah, that's really cool. I was actually thinking more along the lines of keeping track of homebrew recipes for beer, coffee, and cocktails. However, we could always let users add a regular beer.

Well, we can autofill information for them. i.e brew method, grain mill. If we generate nice PDFs of the recipes for people to print that would be sweet too. When you have time to do a google hangout?

Yea, PDFs would be really nice. I thought of another idea about using git in a weird way. Maybe we could keep track of recipe revisions and diff them or something. It makes more sense to store all this in a real RDMBS, but I was trying to come up with a way to use git ;)

I'll probably be free sometime tonight for a hangout, maybe around 8:30 or so?

I have had a side project in the works to create a site that will do statistics for your git repository. There is a package does it, but it's styles are way old and it's not very business centric. http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/ It has some good/irrelevant stats though. Maybe we could model off that, but create some nice business worthy stats. Also, I already own gitstats.com and gitstatistics.com

Yo, eloy and I are going to tag-team design and code if that's cool? Still haven't thought of a team name yet.

Bueno. Just wanted to let my presents be known. I have little to no knowledge in being a liquid snob. Maybe a how-to on becoming one w/ tutorials? :)
