I really love to see the evolution dashboard being integrated into swift.org. It is such a useful resource and right now rather hard to find.

On a similar note, right now there is some work going on to move the language guide over to Docc. Has there been any discussion about doing the same for the evolution proposals? Maybe this provides contributors a way to write richer proposals.
