We're using Pelican to generate static site. All source files are placed in the _src/ directory. Generated content is placed under root directory.

Bootstrapping pelican

~$ mkvirtualenv allura-site
~$ pip install pelican markdown

Working on site

~$ cd _src

In two separate terminal windows run the following commands:

~$ make regenerate  # watch source files and regenerate site
~$ make serve       # serve generated site at http://localhost:8000

When changes are looking good - commit them (including generated files).
