What's changed: - Converted gifs to pngs - Updated the "upcoming events" section. w00t! - Cleaned up the homepage text some - Replaced the "page maintained by" email with a link to github - Dropped the "Last updated" from the footer. We have git now - Removed base href & the domain from uris Thus becomes Which means you can more easily checkout the git repo and run it locally. Patches welcome :) If it's a substantial change, you may want to post to the mailing list first to check for objections before investing time and energy in $work.
