[xuu]

Hi, 

I was wondering if anything ever happened with this request? I would love to 
be able to call into cgit for json data.

thanks!

This would indeed be quite nice. I'll look into it for 0.12.

Currently I'm just running a python web app on top of it to do the trick.
Not great, but it gets the job done.

What python web app?  I've been looking into running an application 
(chef-guard) that only works with the github api and trying to figure

The one behind this:
http://git.zx2c4.com/json/projects
and
http://git.zx2c4.com/json/random-code

It's like 20 lines long and sort of trivial, not worth cleaning up for release.
