Thanks a lot :-)
Yup, really excellent work Jesse. > I'l write some stuff for Io, EtoileUI, CoreObject sections and try to > add some extra bits elsewhere. I've done a bit on CoreObject, but feel free to add more (I didn't talk much about the high layers). I've also written a bit about the runtime. All of the core team need to make sure their bios aren't loren ipsum too... > In the Development section, I would like to suggest adding a short > section that explains how to contribute to the website: > - How test the website locally Possibly worth doing.

Sprawl was the big problem with the old site. I'd rather all new pages have to go via Jesse as a sanity check. Yes, I really just say sanity in the context of Jesse... > Also would it be possible to have some addon to handle syntax > highlighting of embedded code snippets? Something like Google prettify > <http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/> ? Could be nice. Another option is to use Vim's :TOhtml command. If you also do 'let html_use_css = 1' (I have this in my .vimrc) then it will export the file as HTML with syntax highlighting done via CSS. If we add entries for: .Error .Todo .Statement .Comment .PreProc .Constant .Type to out CSS then we get consistent syntax highlighting over the entire site without relying on client-side magic. I'm not sure which solution is better (I'm inclined to go with the lower-effort one of prettify).
