I'm using Jekyll, the static site generator known from github pages. It will definitely be a step up from writing html and doing cat HEAD ARTICLE FOOT > PAGE :)

- amouat 17y agoThat looks pretty good, I'll probably give it a shot. My only concern is that it seems oriented more towards blogs; do you think I'll have any problems using it for a small open-source project website?
- noss 17y agoThe blog part will come handy for a project website, as you will probably have a news-section on the front page with release and event announcements. You can use the 'topic' feature to select "non-blog" articles with a given topic. Say if you want a menu entry generated with links to all your 'documentation' topic pages. I forget what the tool/library is called, but there is even support for syntax highlighting code. Lots of languages supported, even Erlang which is properly obscure I think. I find the Yaml premable in articles very useful, if I add a description entry there, i can refer to page.description in my template to add a meta-description header, and in the RSS feed i can use it to summarize the article. I also feel pretty secure in that if I would ever want to give up on Jekyll most of my site would be in textile format which is quite practical and supported by other things than ruby.
