As mentioned some time ago in #2, using a static website generator to build the site could be a good idea.
I've moved the main pages to reStructuredText and set up Pelican to build a web site which is very similar to the existing one; I've done only the minimal amount of changes needed to have something working. One exception is that I have moved all the News snippets to a separate subsection to make the main page text more prominent; as a side effect, this should also make easier to add new posts/news 😁.
This is intended to be a first step towards a restructuring of the site design and of its content - I'm not sure if it makes sense to merge this now, hence the [WIP], but it would be good if you could take a look and check if it seems to be going in the right direction.
