Since you guys (Dan and Florent) are the two guys volunteering to do the actual work here, I'm hopeful you can come to an agreement between you about how to proceed, otherwise we'll be dead in the water with it (which is exactly what I had hoped to avoid). We do now have a credit card and so we can easily set things up on AWS, which would seem to give us a lot more flexibility, given the difficulties with internationalization and Github Pages. Ian.

I want to constrain the scope of this work, and I am afraid that a survey of static site generators and translation tools will further expand the scope. This evening I believe I can implement a simple jekyll plugin that will allow us to re-use the existing translations, which I believe to be a requirement of this work.

The last thing we need is a jekyll plugin that we can't use on github pages! Ian has arranged for the project to have a debit card ... so now we have more options open. My favourite would be to explore what can be done with pontoon.
