</div>I like this a lot.<br>
<br>
I've mentioned in IRC a few times that I'd like to re-do the homepage.<br>
If anyone wants to work on that, I'd be totally game. I think having<br>
something based on bootstrap with the "slate" theme might be nice; I<br>
started sketching out something the other day. One option would be to<br>
move the *entire* homepage to Sphinx and just have a nice template for<br>
the front page, similar to what IPython and others do.<br>
