Rueppell -- is a fox species living in the Middle-East, Southwestern Asia and, more importantly for us, North Africa -- but it's also our universal community website. From the ground up.
Our use of a Static Website Generator is motivated by our desire to have a CMS-free website and tighten our control of the content as well as our website's security. By having static webpages, we also get rid of real-time data and customized content for users, but that's not really a bad thing since we do not plan to use much of that.
Static Website Generator are used to generate static webpages by taking plain files and applying layouts to them. The end result will be a HTML file that will be sent to the website visitor.
We're still looking for one ! Jekyll is ruled out for now, but no worries, so many more are available !
