Ahh the asynchronicity of unreal life.

CHANGES

Site Template

* one snake, please — I personally like this one best
* transparent favicon and snake logo
* SEARCH
  * first tab-index
  * support for OpenSearch (see upper right of *my view* above)
  * Goog custom search across webpy.org, launchpad & github
* `universal edit button` (see tooltip in *my view* above)
* one, obvious home link (doubles as hCard for the web.py organization)
  * breadcrumbs will logically fit between top `web.py` and `<h1>`
    * if any URIs actually descend multiple levels of hierarchy [???]
* HTML5 (i.e. <header>, <article>, <nav>, <footer>)
* document structure places `article` content before `nav`igational elements
* simplified navigation
  * changelog has nothing to do with "Getting" which leaves only `Download`
    * hence change of heading from `Get` to `Use`
  * merge `download` into `install`
  * move deployment information from `install` to `deploy`
    * break setup into parts and merge with `deploy` and elsewhere
  * `learn` section is more focused
* quote moved to footer revealing whitespace and collapsing header
* Aaron and Anand's info provided as hCards (as `vcard.agent`s of web.py)
* Anand presented with <address> to designate *main author*
* table of contents
* `rel-license`d page under a CC0 [critical change – comments?]
  * designed to formalize the Public Domain dedication universally
* syntax highlighting
* jQuery auto-inserts `back to top ↑` before each h2

About
http://webpy.org/about?template_root=/min

* <title> reads only "web.py"
* single hAtom status feed entry represents most recent version semantically
  * hAtom to Atom transliteration provides feed (see *my view* above)
  * Anand's hCard used heuristically to imply hAtom feed author
    * semantically: Anand is an author/agent of web.py who posted version 0.33
* split testimonials into `project that use web.py` and `people that use web.py`
  * each contains an hCard — `org`s for projects and `people` for people
  * began sourcing each quote
    * linking to author's identity where possible
  * overall sanitization of section

Installation
http://webpy.org/installation?template_root=/min

* content restructure and merge with
* terminal snippets are copy/pasteable
  * CSS used to insert shell indicator
  * trailing newline to ensure sending of entire sequence of commands

History of Installation
http://webpy.org/installation?m=history&template_root=/min

* hAtom feed

Deployment
http://webpy.org/installation?template_root=/min

* untouched merge..

TODO

* align vertical rhythm to a baseline grid
* semantically connect change log feed to full change log history
* deal with translation clutter
* standardize table headers (i18n [???])
