Following [the fall-out] 1 around ruby-lang.org, it is suggested that we [follow their example] 2 by going for a static site. This means it it trivial for anyone in the group, regardless of skill-level, to contribute and has the added benefit that it can be hosted easily on github pages.
Dynamic functionality can easily be added using JavaScript, with flat .json files for storing data to be pulled in. If things develop to the point where a server-side solution is needed this can then be discussed.
It is suggested that we use the [Twitter Bootstrap] 3 for style. This gets everyone singing from the same hymn-sheet with a well documented and comprehensive stylesheet library/framework. Rather than fill the repository with unnecessary code, the css file is hotlinked from a CDN. If/When jQuery is added, linking from the Google Ajax libraries would make sense.
