I like the idea.
It beside the cleaner look, I think the opportunity of enabling accounts for editing the
documentation is great.
Hopefully, it will not take too much work.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’d like to modernize the Open Babel webpages, including migrating away from
MediaWiki to Markdown / Jekyll.
The idea behind the MediaWiki site was to enable anyone to edit. Unfortunately,
unlike Wikipedia, we don’t have the same level of anti-spam resilience. So we
had to move to a “human-approved” account system, which sorta defeats the
purpose.
I migrated the Avogadro website last year (https://avogadro.cc/) which now
lives as a set of Markdown files on GitHub. People can click a link from the
website and propose an edit - but with GitHub providing the authentication.
One nice bonus is that I’d be able to integrate the documentation at
ReadTheDocs directly:
http://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Before I do this for Open Babel, I wanted to get some opinions. Pro? Con?
Ambivalent?
