DevNotes_Obsolete_WebsiteUpgrade

Goal

Upgrade the website to a more modern look and at the same time improve the ease of access to key information for new users

Technical Implementation

The lowest barrier to entry is to use Jekyll (​https://jekyllrb.com) as this is supported on GitHub pages.

Theming

There are a lot of Jekyll themes out there, but many are not suitable for a professional website. Please look at:

• ​http://jekyllthemes.org
• ​https://jekyllthemes.io/free

and add your favourite / mark your favourite with your initials in the table below:

Theme NameLinkVotes Minimal Mistakes​https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/AJJ, TS (Graphics Dependent), MG Beautiful-jekyll​https://deanattali.com/beautiful-jekyll/WP, MD, RL

At the November 13 meeting beautiful-jekyll was agreed as the choice, partly due to the need for lots of graphics work to make the minimal-mistakes theme work. Ricardo Leal agreed to take a first stab at conversion.
