I also thank you for this news. I haven't had much time to be a part of the
community lately, but Ian was the main driver behind the bzr-doc team. He
was kind and easy going. He helped me, newbie contributer, make my small
changes to bzr. I also would support a permanent memorial to Ian in the
about section or other appropriate place. Another idea would be to maybe
make a release use "Ian" as a codename.

I wish his family well, this has got to be a very hard time for them.
