[coreboot] Re: Feedback wanted for coreboot website update

[Christian Walter]

Hi,

for the statically generated part - I would really consider using a 
generator like 11ty to build the static website for you. I found it in 
the end easier to write some markdown files, rather than writing plain 
HTML. Even though I agree with not putting any JS into the homepage, or 
at least that it should be usable without JS, the homepage should 
somewhat be modern.

You can check out the OSFF Homepage: 
https://github.com/open-source-firmware/homepage - it's a bunch of 
markdown files, and 11ty builds a static site out of it - and even I can 
edit it ;)

Best,

Chris
