Website up and running

[davidrpugh]

@prauwolf I agree that we need to prioritize getting some kind of website up and running. The current website that I threw together can be found here. The website leverages GitHub pages to serve a static website for our ScalABM organization. Individual repos can also have project webpages. We should probably also start writing a blog...

@davidrpugh This looks great. I know Doyne is interested in getting something up and running so we can point interested parties to it. What do you think we should prioritize adding first? I was thinking:

• blog
• sign up to 'follow' changes
• High-level 1-2 page document explaining the project

Do you think we should use Jekyll for blogging or something else?
Can you give me admin rights to the website?

@ScalABM/core-devs I have given everyone write access to this repo so that everyone can contribute to website development and blog writing.

@prauwolf I agree with your prioritization. I would only add that I am not sure that the current website styling that I made is ideal for supporting a blog so I think that we should consider something else. Here are some links to more free Jekyll themes that I found with a two second google search. I am sure more could be found.

My limited experience with Jekyll has been great and I really like the tight integration with GitHub so unless you (or someone else) has had an amazing experience with some other blog technology I think we should go with Jekyll.

@davidrpugh Jekyll is fine with me. I don't know much about it, but I'll look into it and get a blog going. Then we can debate about the best theme.
