New build: http://yt-project.org/docs/2.4/
The cookbook in particular is coming along:
http://yt-project.org/docs/2.4/cookbook/index.html

Thanks for taking on the making_plots.rst, Nathan.  Britton, don't
worry about the testing stuff, we can push it off for now.  As for
NumberDensity, is there a mu value we could use?  Otherwise, we can
build it from the species fields as we do for Enzo.  I'm also in
support of searching out problematic fields; I think the particle
fields in particular may have a handful of issues.

Really, NumberDensity should be a univseral field but I guess its definition will be highly code-dependent with respect to how different codes handle multispecies simulations.  Each of the maintainers for the different codes will have to update their frontend to include the NumberDensity field.
