[Tor www-team] [Back-end][CMS]

[William Papper]

Definitely a +1 for Jekyll. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. While a
custom solution or plain HTML may seem appealing at first (and would be
great for a personal project), Jekyll lets us move much quicker and keeps
everything relatively standardized. It also makes it easier for people to
collaborate, since Jekyll is widely used.
