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:

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

+-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Theme Name | Link | Votes | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Minimal Mistakes | [​https://mmistakes.g | AJJ, TS (Graphics | | | ithub.io/minimal-mist | Dependent), MG | | | akes/](https://mmista | | | | kes.github.io/minimal | | | | -mistakes/) | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Beautiful-jekyll | [​https://deanattali. | WP, MD, RL | | | com/beautiful-jekyll/ | | | | ](https://deanattali. | | | | com/beautiful-jekyll/ | | | | ) | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+

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.
