this is awesome! For me, both of the options look good enough to give 
them a go. The "bitbucket" version is my winner, because it uses the 
full page width for content. I think this is important, e.g. for places 
where we quote source passages with longer lines...

One other thing I noticed is, that on the "SconsIsNotSlow" page the 
attached files were successfully converted...but the images seem to be 
missing. Maybe there is a convert option for that?
Otherwise, as I said above, it's perfectly good to start from here and 
manually improve pages where required.
