[OpenBabel-Devel] Migrating from MediaWiki

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

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?

-Geoff
