I was wondering, should I be filling a bug report for these typos?

You can if you'd like, as it's a bit easier for me to track long-term. I
have several things in the air at any one time, so I tend to be a bit
distracted and might overlook it.

I'm working toward converting the current site from a nanoc based static
generator to using middleman. Once this is done, I'm planning to open
the git repo for public cloning, so in the future you'd be able to
simply submit a patch/pull request.

If you're good with ruby, and some of the more 'hipster' static site
languages (sass, haml, etc), I could certainly use a hand.

I'll do that in the future

I'm sorry, I can't offer much hope in that vein. I'm a 27-year
veteran
of the industry, but I haven't consistently used any of the tools
available in the FLOSS community other than HTML, Wikimedia and
MoinMoin, yet. CSS and Javascript are probably my next study
concentration points. My laptop is still running the operating system
delivered with it and the machines I intended for my lab are now
passe` 32-bit machines. I'll be reading the fine manuals served by the
CentOS project for some time before I become highly productive.

I'll get there, though. And when I do, you'll see quality, because
that's what I was schedule pushed to skip in the past and I'm retired
now, that is, I set my schedule now.
