Thanks for this! A few minor issues and suggestions:

1. Using "_" bundles a bunch of stuff into the package which shouldn't be there, e.g. non-texinfo docs. Using ("_.el" "*.py" "floo") looks like it would be the right choice.
2. More importantly, you can't slurp someone else's code into your package, so "highlight.el" should be removed, and a Package-Requires: header should be used to declare a dependency on the highlight package.
3. Similarly, you need to declare a dependency on json. So, specifically, you're looking at adding a ;; Package-Requires: ((json "1.2") (highlight "0")) header
4. The footer "ends here" comment needs to be on its own line
5. You should add a Commentary section in the header describing briefly how to use the package once installed (try enabling auto-insert-mode, then creating a new .el file: you'll see what the basic template for a .el file should look like)
6. Any user-level interactive entry point functions should ideally be marked with a leading ;;;###autoload comment so that users need not explicitly (require 'floobits) in order to use the functionality

Wow! Thanks for the helpful comments.

I'll let you know when these issues are fixed. It'll probably be later today. (I'm in UTC-7)

OK, how's it look now?

Great, merged, thanks.
