You can assign this one to me. I can see this repo, but I cannot yet assign myself to this yet. The main to-do's here:

[ ] Decide if we are going to create a separate repo for this webpage or just do it on the gh-pages branch of this one
[ ] Decide if we want a specific domain for this or just the default one
[ ] Decide upon a theme. There are others out there if you don't like these, but just less easy
[ ] Setup CircleCI so that we can test any potential changes on the website before they go live.

Whilst I think hacker looks cool, I quite like minima personally

Would there be any particular downside to just using the gh-pages branch of this repo? It seems like the simplest option to me, so if there's no major benefit to having a separate repo, my feeling is to keep it simple 🤔

I've no strong feelings on the domain aspect 🤷

It doesn't tend to matter much. We tend to use gh-pages for a lot of things. It tends to be a pretty independent branch to the rest of the code when it is tied to a certain repository. A separate repository works well when it is a standalone website that you don't want to link to the repository. As for the domain, some people don't always like the github.io domain, but I don't have strong feelings either myself. I guess if the DRI wants it somehow within their domain that would be a bigger driver.
