Hey all!

First of all, this is a super cool project. I've enjoyed learning about and understanding this language. But since you guys came out with Eerie and moved all the addons out of the main repo, there is absolutely no documentation for how to install them. The documentation on the guide on the main website (http://iolanguage.org/guide/guide.html#Introduction-Installing) says to use the builtin Makefile which no longer exists. The Eerie readme briefly mentions installing packages and the Io readme doesn't mention it at all. Hopefully, the website could be updated to list this information correctly. I would be open to helping with documentation if I was pointed in the right direction.

Hi!
You can find the installation instruction for a particular package in its repo. Here is ReadLine's repo for example: https://github.com/IoLanguage/ReadLine.
Also if you run eerie help PackageName command, it'll open documentation for PackageName in your system's default browser. To find documentation for a package, prototype or method check out Docio printDocFor(query) (eerie help Docio in your terminal or Docio printDocFor("Docio printDocFor") in the Io's interpreter).
As for the site, we should ask @stevedekorte :)
Contributions are very welcome. Especially we need documentation for Eerie itself.

Hi @Aearnus ,

Just letting you know, that @stevedekorte has moved the Io's site to github pages (and so it's now open for contributions). It lives here: https://github.com/IoLanguage/IoWebsite

Yes, I'd welcome those changes. Ales, please feel free to push your own changes to the site as well. I'd just ask that we keep the formatting the same.
