Everything looks great, good job.

It would be fantastic if there was a link somewhere in the docs pages (on each page?) that allowed you to download PDF versions. Either that or have different CSS for printing that used as much of the page as possible.

Thanks and regards,

> The new pages improve on the old in several ways:

>  * More information is now on the front page.
>  * The site works much better small devices, such as phones.
>  * It's easier to find important parts of the site, like the package directory.
>  * The download process is more streamlined -- now it's only 2 clicks.
