Hey folks,

As we move to enhance the website for a 0.6.0 public release, I decided to throw the website up on github: https://github.com/cthielen/epiar.net . Feel free to contribute to it if you'd like.

The site itself is a standard Ruby on Rails (3.0.x) site using RVM, Bundler, etc.

It is _not_ the site currently served at epiar.net - that site is an old PHP site which this Rails code almost perfectly matches.

Upcoming enhancements:

* Player/developer/contributor login
* Ability to post news
* Ability to post comments
* Ability to manage screenshots, upload new ones
* Webmaster log, describing the changes made to the site over time

I also hope to do a minor bit of work on the front page, making a Download link that's more obvious, with screenshots from the game right on the front page, and maybe some basic OS detection to give the player the correct download link.
