Description

The community decided to work on a brand new website:

The proposed technology is Jekyll but we have also to decide the website template to use.

Furkan Kamaci suggested the Apache CloudStack template.

Muhammed Olgun proposed this approach:

1. Find a modern new static site generator like Jekyll [1]
2. Create a template
3. Start to use it in a specific path like https://manifoldcf.apache.org/*new*
4. Migrate our Forrest xml's to Markdown (we can automate this somehow)
5. Start to serve our new site on root path
