Guix Foundation website

[Andreas Enge]

Hello all,

yesterday at the GA we discussed a bit about our website, and at least
one volunteer has stepped up to help maintain it. I am definitely happy
to pass on responsibility!

Right now it is hosted at
   https://framagit.org/guix-europe/guix-europe
which is a bit inconvenient: It requires to sign up with Framagit, which
takes a few days due to the need for manual account approval to fight
spam accounts. But you can already clone the repository and send me
patches by mail. And then I currently sync it to my own server to host
   http://foundation.guix.info/
(without TLS). Simon is supposed to look into this hosting part soon.

The website itself is based on haunt, which looks quite compatible
with Guix. And it uses the Bootstrap CSS/Javascript framework.
But I have used the static site template I wrote for my own sites, which
is a bit quirky: The structure of the website is coded into the variable
ge-sitemap in haunt.scm, but then it is also reflected in the file
structure inside the posts/ subdirectory; so information is duplicated
and needs to be kept in sync (which may not be a big problem, as it only
plays a role when adding or removing pages). So if someone wishes to take
over, I will not be offended if they change how the content is served!

And of course it will be easy to improve the visuals, and to add new
content. For instance I thought it would be nice to have "real time"
accounting by including the result of
   ledger -f ../accounting/accounting.ledger balance
into some page under the "Assets" menu.
