I'd be glad to help out with the scala site if I can.

 

I have experience making drupal sites (our department site actually uses the same newsflash theme http://itls.usu.edu/ :)
And I created much of the documentation for the boo programming language. 



Here are a few issues:

1.  We could for example install the global_redirect and pathauto modules to make nicer URLs for the different pages
(and the old urls won't break, they'll be redirected).

2. These compiler internals videos take hours and hours to download.  They can be either uploaded to google video or converted to flash using:
ffmpeg -i avifile.avi flashfile.flv

3. Right now there is virtually no documentation about scala traits.  If you google for scala traits this page comes up:
http://www.scala-lang.org/node/126
I'd like to add some links to other examples and blog posts that better illustrate the uses of traits.

Lastly, I could even setup a wiki space if need be in drupal (for registered users to edit), since there really isn't an active wiki for scala documentation available anymore.  This would rapidly speed up the amount of documentation that could be made available.
