Depending on what you need, the build script might actually be overkill. If you don't need translations and there's no dynamic overview pages, you can achieve the same with a trivial 10 line Makefile.
and how we can extend it with database functionality (such as the petition)?
The generator actually does not much more than to create HTML files by sticking together fragments from different sources. If you want database functionality, you have to program the CGI yourself. If you want highly dynamic web pages, the generator isn't the right tool.
Thanks for your comments, Reinhard!
After some discussion we believe that the generator is, as you say, overkill.
Instead, we will make a perl script for the database, and static html around it. I hope the script can be reused within the context of the generator, though.
Also, we'd like to install Etherpad, which is an off-the-shelf application that needs to be updated, but that can be used by all Fellows.
Which server should we use?
Can someone grant root access to that server for the following Fellows: Stefan Kangas (skangas) Patrik Willard (wildcard) Fredrik Wendt (?) Stian Rødven Eide (julipan)
Stefan, Patrik and Fredrik; please send your public ssh keys to fellowship-hackers@fsfeurope.org
all the best, Stian
