[ale] github

[Jim Kinney]

I recommend cut and paste scripts found on the web. Be sure to run them
as root. :-) 
I ran a git install for a while. Used ssh for all user login so it was
pretty much just like a standard machine.
All the gui stuff is just web code so the standard setups for user-
supplied text input is typical. Basically treat it like a web app.
Apache/nginx will whine if the perms are wrong for writing to the git
repo so test it before announcing it.
Put it in a VM for easy backup and restore.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
