We currently use the website meta language, http://thewml.org/, as our
template system for creating the static html for the website. A more
modern template system is Jekyll, http://jekyllrb.com/. We could do a
better job of separating the content from the html itself by using
markdown for all of the content, stored in distinct files, and then apply
the html template using the YAML included in Jekyll.
Having separate content may also improve our ability to include it as
documentation with our software bundles and compiled as manuals for users.
This separation may also improve our ability to translate the content
without having to worry about conversion from html to the po format.
Markdown is a language which can be converted from its plaintext form into
various other formats, http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/.
There would be a lot of work to setup the new site, convert the
documentation, and merge in the current theme. However, the end result
would be a more flexible arrangement for the future. New designs and
templates could be applied more easily without the need to rewrite all of
the content as well.
