Goal {#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 {#TechnicalImplementation}

The lowest barrier to entry is to use Jekyll ([​]{.icon}https://jekyllrb.com{.ext-link}) as this is supported on GitHub pages.

Theming {#Theming}

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

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

+-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Theme Name | Link | Votes | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Minimal Mistakes | [[​]{.icon}https://mm | AJJ, TS (Graphics | | | istakes.github.io/min | Dependent), MG | | | imal-mistakes/](https | | | | ://mmistakes.github.i | | | | o/minimal-mistakes/){ | | | | .ext-link} | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Beautiful-jekyll | [[​]{.icon}https://de | WP, MD, RL | | | anattali.com/beautifu | | | | l-jekyll/](https://de | | | | anattali.com/beautifu | | | | l-jekyll/){.ext-link} | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+

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.
