I've done some upgrades to our website to hopefully ensure we are in
accordance with the Apache website guidelines (see
https://whimsy.apache.org/site/project/wicket, which was mostly red before
my actions).

What remains is our "Built with Wicket" tumblr carroussel. The images are
not allowed to load in the user's browser session, so those images should
be loaded at build time, or we should ask for cookie consent from the user.

Apparently there's a Jekyll Youtube plugin that asks for that consent on
the page load, and generates a thumbnail for the linked video. I'm
considering adding a crawler functionality to the jekyll setup to pull the
images and descriptions into our local site, such that we don't pull the
data from tumblr in the browser session.

Or we decide to remove the carroussel, that's also a possibility.

Also I added a devcontainer configuration to run the jekyll site in a
devcontainer when opened in VS Code. This makes developing on the website
much simpler (you don't need a jekyll/ruby installation anymore).
