The source code isn't in any repository because I don't work with repositories. And, if I were to list a specific version of the code, it would become slightly obsolete in less than a week -- as I am continually tweaking Readable's text-parsing algorithm. You can find an always up-do-date version of the code here: http://readable-static.tastefulwords.com/_r/bulk.js

You really should be using version control. If you want people to contribute to this open-source project, you can't beat a public repository (like github) at which you can receive patches from other developers. Right now, it is not apparent how I can work to improve your project.

You are correct, sir. But I haven't really gotten in to the open-source game just yet -- maybe I should; I don't know.

I am using version control; just not public version control.

If you want to help, get in touch (http://readable.tastefulwords.com/about-and-contact/). I'm happy to hear any ideas; and, if you want to do some actual work, that would be quite awesome too.

I don't know why you would use your own version control. and not release it... Makes little sense.
