I don't think we need more than a static system. Using php is a bit
too much for what we do (basically language switching and automatic
TOC generation, if I remember well). I would personnally not be
opposed to jekyll or any other similar solution.

That being said, for this as for the hosting itself, I leave it
completely up to you guys. Your energy to push po4a forward is really
welcome to replace mine, which is a bit fading away these days... It's
really great to see that you all are willing to help so quickly.

Please proceed! as you see fit!

Thanks for your help,
Mt.
