Great site even with the lack of polish. Conceptually I like it. It makes you think more about the full process of writing code than most similar sites. I think what this does well is try to get folks to think about writing something that QA will then test. That is good for me as I come from an operations background and this part of programming is not natural to me. For me it is crank out Bash or Python and keep trying until something works... This is different it is more like "look at this framework, build the piece that is missing"

As I am a sysadmin I tend to write tools that only I would look at. Writing something fro a test suite is a great idea. A howto page detailing testing process and a testing 'hello world' would be a good addition.

I was surprised that the install didn't involve a github repo install, ie that the install script would not be part of a repo that you clone and then chmod X+ and then install. The benefit of this is that I can keep track of the cli repo and update when needed by watching the repo.
