Thank you, I just pushed it.

I have just made a 0.1.6 release. I'd reserve a 0.2 release if there's
an actual change on the structure of the site.

You mentioned a series of problems on the current website which I
agree do exist and would welcome fixes for it. Both generate_html and
the website now have hg repos. The main problem would be that big
changes would require rebuild of all packages documentation. Since
most of the changes would be text that is equal on all pages, we could
work around this by editing the file in places with some per script.
Indeed, I have done this in the past to update some broken links.
