Templates for Jekyll

The goal of this project is to provide reusable templates for producing jekyll webpages for the following purposes:

• home pages
• course pages
• seminar pages
• conference pages

The fundamental design idea is to have a sane approach for which files should be modified when the page is first established. So far, we are requiring modification of:

_config.yml : for the basic page properties
_includes/image.html : for the title picture

and for the site-specific data, a file like one of the ones below:

_data/lectures.yml : for the lecture metadata
_data/talks.yml : for the talks at a conference/seminar

etcetera.

to do (and where things are at)

1. so far, I've just started a version of the course template. the other templates are still to be done.
2. what is the best way of generating the page itself? should there be a basic script to generate a new directory?
3. documentation within the directory structure needs to be placed to inform the user which files (as listed above) need to be modified to complete the page.
