It would very cool if we could automate a webiste for the README.md file so that we could get it on the web like that. Just to make it look even more professional.

Yeah, might need something like Jekyll for converting markdown to HTML though.

@nickdesaulniers Nah, you're overthinking it. GitHub projects can have an generated website with just a few clicks. It's what we do for sqlitebrowser.org, which is really this:

    https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/tree/gh-pages

That was originally generated using "GitHub Pages" for the repo, which you'll find in:

    https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/What-Open-Source-Means-To-Me/settings

We've since been manually adjusting ours, but it's completely possible to just keep regenerating it using GitHub Pages when the README.md changes. It may be possible to automate with a Git trigger or something too... I haven't checked though. 😉

Up and running: https://nickdesaulniers.github.io/What-Open-Source-Means-To-Me/ . @justinclift, you should add you name at the bottom next to mine. We also need to fix up the images.

I think it gets the name from the repo owner. If I manually adjust it, then the next time the page is regenerated (eg after the next entry is added), I think the adjustment will be lost.

So, you're stuck being the only official owner for now. 😁

have you guys thought about using submarine?

i think it's really cool plus you could augment with your own styles, but the best I think, would be a random generator so it lands on a random quote and then you can cycle through them from there

@reqshark Is it something that works through GitHub Pages? Looking at it quickly, it doesn't seem like it.

eh, we need a precommit hook to keep this branch up to date with master
