Static Site Generator Community Meeting (March 12)

[Justin Obara]

Recently we've been exploring the idea of moving away from larger, more complex, content management systems for the Fluid Project site and potentially other websites hosted by the IDRC. For our sites that do not require a back end server, this should both simplify the creation process and minimize on the amount of infrastructure we need to maintain it. 

For the March 12 (2:30 pm ET) community meeting we'll be discussing the criteria for selecting a static site generator. The goal of the meeting will be to come up with a set of criteria that we will use to evaluate the many static site generators against, along with concrete reasons for why those criteria are important. If you are interested and able to help out with the decision making process, from putting forward selection criteria to helping research and test possible solutions, please make sure to join the meeting. 

Community meetings are held locally at the IDRC in the collaboration room, and we are able to accommodate remote participants via Skype. If you are unable to join the meeting in person or remotely, but still would like to contribute, please feel free to reply to this thread.

If you would like to make suggestions on criteria for selecting a static site generator, please ensure you raise them in the following format
