[TriLUG] static website generators

[Matthew Frazier]

The most flexible one I've found is nanoc: http://nanoc.ws/

nanoc doesn't have long configuration files like other generators -- 
instead, compilation is controlled entirely by Ruby code. This is nice 
because it lets you do very advanced things if you need to, like 
dynamically select markup languages, nest layout templates, or generate 
items on the fly.

(Though I will warn you that after I started using a static site 
generator for my personal Web site, my blogging rate plummeted.)
