I have staged a build of PyPUG using the new theme here (http://temp.theadora.io/pypug-pydoctheme/index.html <http://temp.theadora.io/pypug-pydoctheme/index.html>). Please take a look and comment on github with any concerns, and by all means tell me I'm crazy for trying to do this. :)

From what I understand those people are @dstufft, @pfmoore, @jaraco, @vsajip, @dholth, and @ncoglan, but please let me know if I missed anyone (I'm still new!)
