Hi Jaimos, > I am unsure on a lot of the details about how the current site is > generated, who controls the domain name fvwm.org, and what any current or > future plans for the site are, but offered to help in any migration. So the domain is controlled by "us", but in reality, it's Jason who's responsible for that. The fvwm-web documentation (if you can call it that) is found here: http://fvwm.org/documentation/dev_cvs.php#fvwm-web Note the scripts (I've mentioned them in other threads here) which link through to the fvwm repo. That's an aspect we have to change---what's needed on the website stays in the website, so if we have to move files into that, sobeit. Other than that, everything is in PHP. When the website is updated (currently with 'cvs update') then that's polled sometime later via a cronscript which makes the content live on fvwm.org > Thomas mentioned wanting to move it to git-hub and generating it from > markdown using jekyll.
