+1 from me.

Thoughts on going about this? Initial questions:

* In the case of evaluating static publishing tools, would it be a case of creating a repo for each then having folk hack on those?

* Where would these initial repos be created? GitHub? Elsewhere? Does it even matter?

My experience with Jekyll is limited to my own website, but I am extremely interested in hacking on an implementation of Middleman or Jekyll with some folks.

And as lunar indicated, we have some content to play around with, including the blog posts which were scraped a couple weeks ago [1].
