Talk:Event dispatching thread

It would be nice to have a link explaining precisely what a background thread is. Intuitively it makes sense that this is a thread intended to provide a service to running applications, but I am sure there is more to it than that! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.69.98 (talk) 16:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

What does GIT stand for
In the section "Message Loop for serializing GUI accesses" the GIT data structure is referenced twice without any explanation, previously with a link to the git version control system. Is GIT simply a misspelling of GUI or has it some other meaning I'm not aware of, cause I've never heard of the term before. Z7V9R (talk) 14:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
