I haven't used it, but there is a usage() sub (which is apparently never
executed :) in the program that tells you how to use it.

Same thing, except that usage() will be executed if you do not supply any
arguments.

template-tool can save templates to disk.

I don't know.  Someone needs to write documentation for plugins and themes.

When we think the beta is about ready for release (soon), we will migrate
slashcode.com to Bender.  Then we will use slashcode.com as a guage for
when Bender is ready for release.  Users of the site will help us find
bugs, we will get a good stress-test for the system, etc.  Right now we are
in the process of getting new machines set up for the migration, then we
will start migrating.
