Re-organization of the HSF website

[hegner]

After 9 years of HSF, the activities actually done are very different from the initial ideas. We should reflect that in our website and make a major update on layout, content and representation.

This ticket is a placeholder for an eventual focussed discussion on it.

Discussion: Should we enable 'delete merged branches'? I have that on in all repositories and don't really see any downside.

Discussion: How should we deal with the amount of spellcheck failures in old documents (see here). Every time codespell (part of pre-commit) gets updated, there's more and nobody wants to be responsible for fixing them (and the amount of ignore-listed documents is also starting to look ridiculous by now)

Linking #1481 which would simplify our PR workflows

I have removed the help wanted label, as this advertises this issue for help from outside the organization (and this issue probably isn't the best fit for that)

I had a play with converting the website to run with Hugo or to update the Jekyll theme (currently the very basic minima)

• Automatic conversion was not a great success - it really just moves the "posts" into the Hugo content folder
• Yes, it's completely possible to do this, but I think it's a week's work to get everything looking good
  • Volunteers...? Anyone have a student who is good with websites?

I would like to work on this. Can more details be provided?

I too would be help out, especially as it relates to exploring options (e.g. Hugo, but maybe others)
