I'm not sure how I made so many mistakes!  You all are correct, and the doc
should be up to date.

re: the git activity - yes, as it is now it doesn't need a presenter, but
someone should plan to take charge of forming people into groups.  I think
it's better to work in small groups than alone, as students can help each
other.  And it's better to pair advanced students with advanced students
(and mentors who are comfortable with advanced stuff) and newcomers with
newcomers.
