Eventh··on Syte: Simple but powerful packaged personal site
Twitter and the other services are only external links if they are wrongly configured, API calls fails, or JavaScript has not finished loading/is not available. Contacts is just 'mailto:'.

If you by Brejvik means Anders Behring Breivik, I feel compelled to correct you because of the gravity of your error (even though this is off topic).

Breivik is/was a Christian, and his main motivation for the terrorist attack was religion, specifically Islamophobia.

> "But nowadays, everyone is on Facebook — well, nearly everyone. As the Daily Mail points out, two notable abstainers are James Holmes and Anders Behring Breivik."

This is a lie. Anders Behring Breivik had a Facebook account that he used to gather 1000 email addresses who he sent his 'manifesto' [1].

Eventh··on Python.org Redesign Request for Proposals
Part of the problem is the use of Sphinx and its search engine (at least this was the case a year ago), where searching happens client-side in JavaScript. This limits how complex the search engine can be, before it is to slow or require to much data to download. Last time I looked it had a simple inverse index with a Porter stemmer and limited ranking of results.

This is great for documentation of most projects as it can be supported with only html+css+js, without a need for a web framework and hosting. But for the documentation of a major programming language I think something more advanced is expected.

Did you release it under an open-source license? I couldn't find any license on the github repo.

Without a license we don't know how we are allowed to use it, and/or modify it.
