Nobody is saying something different about that. This is irrelevant to the
point of the thread.
I very much appreciate Ariel's push and work on the gh-pages.

No, Jeykill is great but Pelican is as as great and in Python and supports
both md and rst.
So, as this being a Python project I would give it a chance.

I haven't played with Jekyll to see if Jekyll is easier in some way.

I am happy to change the content my self and I will do. But are we getting
a bit too
formal in our discussions? Is it bad to disagree if I don't like something
or ask for
changes?

Matthew, my hope was that at least first people would agree to give Pelican
or Sphinx
a chance. If there is no agreement on that I cannot go and make a PR like
that.

I will make PRs on the content but first I need to see what is the
vision/goal of the portal.
Which is missing from the current version of the website. But I see that
Vanessa
is actually improving the initial design a lot. When that is done it will
be easier for
me to contribute.

Cheers,
Eleftherios
