New comment by bArray in "Static Web – Back to the Roots"

My current static setup consists of:

* Nginx [1] - Serve the content with some settings, such as compression and HTTPS.

* Pandoc [2] - Builds the HTML pages and throws a header and footer in there, as well as a comments section [3].

* Bash script [4] - Runs in a screen session, polls git for changes, pulls and rebuilds the content, then builds RSS feeds.

Whilst this works for me, I could see how WordPress could be desirable. Some online editor, ability to add "plug-ins" (i.e. some bits somebody else coded), tracking, comments, etc. I think there is space for some static page generation system/script that adds a light weight editor and the ability to add other people's scripts.
