Hello all,

I recently took over as maintainer of the crosswalk-project.org website.
Francesco suggested I start sending out a weekly status report about what
I've been doing, so here's the first one.

***
* Live site

This week I updated the downloads page (
https://crosswalk-project.org/#documentation/downloads). Downloads for all
OS/channel combinations are now on one page.

I also made several releases to tweak CSS, fix some links, and update the
contributors' agreement text.

* Development

I've been working on a server-side github API proxy. This is so we can make
authenticated requests to get branch info and other metadata, which
increases the rate limit to 5000 requests per hour (unauthenticated
requests are limited to 60). I also cache the github API responses, which
means most requests don't count against the limit anyway.

This is primarily for populating the downloads page automatically (so we
can show "live" versions in the downloads table). But I've also rewritten
the channel viewer to use this new proxy (which means you can use it more
than 7 times per hour).

I plan to push it live next Tuesday.

* Docs

I just started writing some new documentation about developing Crosswalk
Android extensions in Java. The sample application I'm working on plays
music files from the device storage.

***
As always, any issues for the website/docs can be logged on the Crosswalk
project Jira: http://crosswalk-project.org/jira ("Website" component).
