My life just got a lot busier; I'd really like a maintainer or two to help. I'm not abandoning JPT, I just don't have a ton of time to put into hacking on it. If you've been learning Ruby and you want to move beyond tutorials and throwaway projects, I'd love to hear from you. I'd be happy to help you gain experience and credibility, if you're willing to help me maintain this project! It's simple to throw a photo on a page and call it a day, but doing justice to users on all different browsers and devices is tedious and tricky. Tedious, tricky things should be automated. Jekyll Picture Tag automatically builds cropped, resized, and reformatted images, builds several kinds of markup, offers extensive configuration while requiring none, and solves both the art direction and resolution switching problems with a little YAML configuration and a simple template tag.
