you can fork and then do a pull request. I like the idea of continuing to use jekyll, because it is easy to update and add new info

Hey Eugene,

I also thought about the website and to learn Jekyll a bit, I ported the actual Csound page to the following template.

http://mmistakes.github.io/skinny-bones-jekyll/

I can upload the result somewhere (if you explain me how), so we can have a look at it if you want. Probably as a fork on Github?

Hi guys!

We discussed the issue with Rory and Steven, and they suggested to write about it to the list.

We all agreed that the site needs redesign, but, imo, we should not invest our time to web design, and probably the best way would be to buy a template (as we did with the ICSC2015 web site). I found nice template: http://themeforest.net/item/workscout-job-board-html-template/full_screen_preview/13046688 – it has nice and very comfortable to read typesetting, also there are a lot of styled elements we can reuse, like blocks, tables, badges, etc.

So, what do you think about the idea?

I think this may be a very good solution for us, as it would probably
save us a lot of time to get something good to start.

I looked through the site and found these:

http://themeforest.net/item/retouch-app-html-template/full_screen_preview/11454204

Which I thought might work as well. (I was looking at this on in
particular http://darwinthemes.com/retouch/html/theme/index-cyan.html).
It seems like we could add all of the appropriate information to the
front page to point people to places to go.

I checked the retouch template. It does look better, but I think it’ll be hard to maintain, because I don’t see any signs of CSS framework in the HTML code. I can’t say what framework the WorkScout template uses, but I see common patterns in classes like “container”, “sixteen columns”… Also I like how dropdown menu items behave: they don’t disappear right after you move the mouse away from them — this is very convenient, as one can accidentally move the mouse away from the dropped menu. Also retouch blog posts look ugly when you remove image from them (see figure attached).

WorkScout looks fine to me. But I'm no expert.

Okay, well let's take out ReTouch from the list then.  If Workscout works for everyone, that sounds good to me.
