Question: Markdown on the Web Site

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>]

I notice that the AOO site has markdown (.mdtext) files mixed with .html files in their SVN and the markdown is converted somewhere in the staging/publishing process.

Does the Corinthia incubator site have similar capability or did the requested site not have that capability?

Yes, I have no problem with this. It will make it easier to keep the layout
uniform.

www.foundation.org, that is what dorte uses. For now I would suggest we
write the text and let dorte create new pages.

Meaning if you want to change in a page, you go into svn change the text in
html and commit it.

The idea was not to have many pages or have pages that are updated
frequently (that is to me wiki), so at least for now dorte has promised to
take care of it.

But have a look at the current site in svn.

no currently we do not use CMS, we opted not to use it because it gives you
some severe limitations......e.g. it would be extremely hard to keep the
responsive design.

<orcmid>
  That's good to know.
  Is there a good place to find the conventions for proper creation
  of pages on our site?  (I haven't nosed around enough to see the
  ways user-agents are detected and then dealt with responsively.)
