ACM Website

Right now this is only a mockup and a partial implementation. The idea is a website that looks (and interacts if you have JavaScript!) like an emacs session.

Building

The website uses the Hugo static site generator. If you have Go installed, installation is as easy as 'go get github.com/spf13/hugo'.

Static Files

To generate static files, run the following command and check the 'public' folder for generated files.

$ hugo

Development Server

To run a server that watches for file changes and automatically updates when source files are changed, run the following command and navigate to http://localhost:1313/acm/ in your web browser.

$ hugo server -w

Design Goals

have fully semantic HTML (i.e. no <div> soup and be easily human readable in raw HTML)
look like a potential emacs session
support emacs ("Escape Meta Alt Control Shift") shortcuts for basic functions (to start with, it will only support changing buffers)
have a working command line with a joke or two (like http://uni.xkcd.com/)
easy to navigate (potential pages are easy to find and go to for "point-and-click" users)
have content be easily readable (so no tiny terminal font like many of us might be accustomed to)
