A big thank _you_ for carrying it all through to completion. I cowered in fear from the project on multiple occasions. And even when you started working on it, I intentionally avoided getting involved because I knew what a rabbit hole it could become. So I am doubly happy that it was completed, and without me. :) > As with all big efforts, I am under no illusion about everything working > as intended, I do expect some fall-out to crop up (e.g. external links > that might now be broken, even if I tried very hard to avoid that).

One of the reasons I was so enthusiastic about switching is that we'd routinely see small breakages with the old site (failing translation imports, search index going belly-up, oops we need to move to a new version of ruby which subtly breaks all sorts of things, etc). People will generally open issues in the GitHub repo as they see things, and I figured that even with a few rough edges the new site was probably going to be more reliable than the old one. -Peff
