Looks great! I really like the norse themed repository names ... though I'm not familiar with "demos" and "conf", are they some sort of mythical norse figures as well?

Demos, the great God of demonstrations and examples. He preferred to teach other Gods, as opposed to humans. Usually he could be found skulking nearby or with API, the God of documentation.

Conf, the lesser known God of configurations and setups. He made sure that everything was well defined in a single place in a concise format, such as acceleration due to gravity, etc.

How do you pronounce API?

"demos" must be a typo of "deimos".
