GSoC 2020 - A New Beginning

I have been selected as a Student Developer with Inclusive Design Institute under the Google summer of Code 2020 Program.
The community Bonding period started on 4th May 2020 and the coding period officially starts today i.e. !st June, 2020. My project revolves around the migration of FLOE and Fluid project websites to a modern and well maintained static site generator. Presently, FLOE Project website is hard-coded HTML and Fluid project website uses Docpad, which has lost community support and is not well maintained. I proposed to use Hugo for the project but after Community discussions on our IRC Channel and Video conferences, 11ty was proposed as the preferred SSG for the project. In the Community Bonding period, I have set up the environment required to complete the project and I have already migrated both the sites to 11ty. Even though this was supposed to take a bit long, but since I had experience working with SSGs before, I could complete the basic work in a week only. Now, we will be working on making a service which will facilitate Content addition to the sites. We'd be looking into Staticman as a service or will be going for Netlify-CMS/Netlify. Moreover, we are going to look into how Github Actions can be used for HTML validation, Linting, and oher testing stuff. I look forward to an amazing journey beginning from today where we dive into a world of opportunities to improve the whole User Experience of viewers as well as moderators of these websites.
