Hello all,

I've done another round of commits & updates today, and I'm happy to
say that Blueprint is now at version 0.8. The gist of today's commits
is that plugins from version 0.6 are now back in the source (such as
rtl, buttons, and link-icons) and a whole lot of bugs from Lighthouse
have been squashed.

At this point I need the Blueprint community to help out, so that we
can ensure that 0.8 is really solid & ready-to-go, and get this
project moving closer to version 1.0. Here's what Blueprint needs:

- A real & well-maintained browser compatibility list, preferably
based on testing done in the OS & correct browser for each case,
rather than just based on browsershots.org. I would like to put this
on a page in the Wiki as well as in the project source. People will be
more willing to use Blueprint when they have a compatibility list they
can refer to and show within their organizations. This should either
be tackled by one person or multiple people; if you are interested in
being responsible for all testing or just one browser/platform, let me
know.

- A run through of all the bugs in Lighthouse. I've resolved or closed
as many bugs as I could, and what's left is either bugs that are more
than a quick fix, or bugs that lack examples and are therefore hard to
verify. If you have submitted a bug in the past 6 months, please go to
the bug tracker and see if it's been resolved. If not, it probably
needs looking at again.

- New tutorials & a new cheat-sheet; this is really just a matter of
making sure the current tutorials are up-to-date, and if not, take a
stab at fixing that.

- A better homepage. Back in the day, Ludwig Wendzich & Olav Bjorkoy
were working on this mockup:

This is how jQuery's download section works, and I would like to be
able to offer this for Blueprint too. Does anyone here know what needs
to be done to replicate this for Blueprint? Also, if you know of
anyone who would be willing to sponsor a server for hosting a tool
like this, let me know. I imagine it would be a bit heavier than the
simple one-pager I have on a basic server right now.

Finally, I'm trying to build more community features for Blueprint.
For now, if you use Facebook, you can add yourself as a fan on the
Blueprint page:

And if you use LinkedIn, you can join the professional Blueprint group here:
