Hi, To answer Bertrand's question first:
I forgot the exact naming for the process but we just mirror one public svn folder for the website. It might be svnpubsub, IIRC. Multiple Apache projects use this (see Cordova for example). There are two alternatives for site committers: 1. We either install Jekyll and Less (if we modify styling) on our machines and run a few simple commands to generate the synced folder 2. We use a Vagrant template that I built and use the VM that Vagrant builds to avoid installing the tools we need locally, while running the same simple commands (this has the advantage that everybody uses the same configuration, irrespective of the platforms that we use regularly) Regarding the theming: I found Apache's CMS lacking flexibility in terms of templating due to the fact that I don't have Perl knowledge. Changing the CSS for the current site is not that difficult. However, being able to build the same layout as my prototype (as this also implies some server-side logic) is a different beast. I haven't been able to commit my work yesterday. Hopefully I'll have a few minutes today.
