Have you considered contributing to LiteratePrograms[0] (or such) instead?

This is great practice, and I encourage you to go for it, but for those interested in looking at algorithms implementations, or looking to cut their teeth and contribute implementations, I'd encourage you to look at already existing algorithm repositories.

Again, the purpose of this is to not use wiki-based collaboration but leverage the power of Git and Github.

Look guys, this is not trying to replace anything. It's something new. It should be supplemental to one's journey, I'm not trying to pass this off as some attempt to be even the main resource for learning algorithms. That would be foolish.

We really need to stop holding ourselves back so much in this field, it's not really proper for us.

Thanks for the link though, it will be added.
