> Okay, funny fact. To be honest, I see it as sad (not to mention, a little bit illiterate).
I don't find any double-spaces on Funded Development page, or Hackfest page either. Not even using Find. I could show screenshots. I wonder if there's some way that your browser is causing this? Or otherwise something on your end is causing the problem? I don't see a any double-spaces anywhere on the site. (This part is a little funny. When I first found out about this, I was purposely inserting a double-space after a period (and after a colon too). From my point of view, it's proper punctuation. At that time, I was working on several different pages for the website. I would edit one day, and the next day, all my double-spaces were gone. It turns out Maren was going through right behind me, and removing them. Later, I tried to sneak one in, just to find out how long it would take her to find it. And the answer - just a few hours!)
