Hi Florent,
I understand you're averse to the ruby ecosystem, and for good reason,
however I see jekyll+plugins as the path of least resistance between us and
a functioning site. 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.
Thanks,
Dan
