Hi Dan, I sent a thread about this last summer - and to date the only folks that have worked on the site have been Lewis and Tom and a few others. I welcome updates from folks but we've already waited quite a bit.
The 0.8.1 rc should hopefully pass voting and be released by Wednesday. If there are updates to make ill ask folks to make them before then bc with the 0.8.1 release we need to make the website easy to update since the only people that knew how to update it before then have been myself and Sean. Sean wrote a great guide but no one has proven yet to have the desire to update the site based on it whereas we have seen the opposite with the CMS. So on Wednesday I will ask infra to switch over the site please get updates in by then and if there are updates to be made we can always do so after as frequently as folks and their commit but desire.
