Structure #1

Thought to keep a place for discussion and tracking on methods and systems used for the structure of the actual database-website.

At the moment we are using a wiki-template, but I'm wondering if choosing another type of website build could be more beneficial in the long run?

As much as I don't want to overcomplicate things, I would probably like more something more robust and with more capability - especially since the wiki-skeleton we chose seems to run on Ruby which I've never used before (and I don't really have the time at the moment to learn it, honestly).

As alternatives, either a simple but moddable Jekyll template could work? Or something to run through my local dev environment. I am wondering if something like Gatsby could be good?

I've already seen things like Gitbook but honestly they feel a bit restricting to me.

Thoughts?

I've been perusing possibilities, and I wanted to add HUGO on the list. It seems interesting and it has various themes availbale.

It doesn't seem too difficult to figure out? They say it can be run even on shared instances etc - maybe easier for this collab?

See if it can work, I can provide the main stuff if you want to fiddle with the usual costumizations etc.

Ok, I will attempt to switch it all to Hugo. I've got the base theme and files ready - opening a pull request dedicated to it.
