Good ideas from everyone...
I'm still working through issues in the "tutorials" and "teaching" sections,
but it's getting closer.
I think one remaining question is how to indicate "please edit this site"
(e.g., adding pages). I can write up a how-to, but I'm not sure where to hang
it. Maybe I need to add a "contributing" link to the top navigation?

Hi Geoff,
I think it looks really good - nice and clean, and easy to navigate.
Having said I think the front page is possibly a little too sparse and some
more pictures showing avogadro in action, or just some flashy rendering would
probably add something.
I noticed one issue. On the tutorials page
(http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/ <http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/>)
if I hover over the first "Tutorials:Getting started" link, clicking on it (it
links to"tutorials:Getting started") doesn't do anything. There's another
Tutorials:Getting started" link further down which does work and links to
http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/getting_started.html
<http://avogadro.github.io/tutorials/getting_started.html>
I also don't get to the paper when I click on the "The Avogadro Paper" link
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1758-2946-4-17
<http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1758-2946-4-17>).
Best wishes,
Jens

Short summary: I have a beta site at http://avogadro.github.io/

I mentioned this previously, but I've made significant progress in extracting
everything from MediaWiki and getting a functional Jekyll site going.
I'm tired of maintaining MediaWiki, and I dislike the theme/skins and the spam
issues. I looked around at possibilities, and thought that using a static site
generator like Jekyll would be a great idea:
* People can still edit the Git repository
* No security issues
* Infinitely customizable
* Easier to translate and mirror (and distribute with Avogadro itself)
While there were many concerns, particularly about editing, there seemed to be
general support. It took a bit of time to wrap my head around Jekyll, but I've
migrated almost everything from MediaWiki.
I'd definitely like some feedback. Please take a look at
http://avogadro.github.io/ <http://avogadro.github.io/>
* What you like
* What you don't
* Bugs or missing content (e.g., it looks horrible on platform X or browser Y)
* How to easily say "if you want to edit/improve this, please do X" on the site
A lot of things need updating, and I'll be hiring a small team of
undergraduates starting in January to update and complete an Avogadro v1 (and
eventually v2) manual, including thorough tutorials and screencasts.
Thanks,
-Geoff
P.S. The developer docs are there too, but I'm thinking these should really be
migrated to GitHub wiki pages to "live" with the repositories themselves.
