This GitHub project, available from micro-os-plus/micro-os-plus.github.io-source, contains the source files used to generate the µOS++ web site.
The µOS++ web site is an organisation GitHub Pages site, stored in the micro-os-plus/micro-os-plus.github.io Git and publicly available from http://micro-os-plus.github.io.
The web site is generated off-line by Jekyll. It cannot be generated by GitHub Pages because it uses Jekyll plug-ins, considered unsafe and disabled by the GitHub Pages instance of Jekyll.
To be able to run the Jekyll build process, the ruby interpreter and the gem tool are required. In OS X 10.10.5, these tools are preinstalled, at least when the Developer Command Line tools are present.
If you are like me and like really separated things, install a separate homebrew instance only for the jekyll builds.

To manage the web site, a local copy of this repository is required.
git clone https://github.com/micro-os-plus/micro-os-plus.github.io-source.git micro-os-plus.github.io-source.git
git clone https://github.com/micro-os-plus/micro-os-plus.github.io.git micro-os-plus.github.io.gitInstall jekyll and all gems referred in Gemfile. Probably usually there is no need to run bundler as root, it can ask for sudo if needed, but in my setup it looks necessary.
$ cd micro-os-plus.github.io-source.git

Bundle updated!People using forked repositories must run bundle install to be sure the required versions are properly installed.
All blog posts are in the _posts folder.
All web pages are in the pages folder.
To maintain sitelink.xml usefulness, while maintaining pages and posts, it is necessary to keep this variable up-to-date. When the pages are generated off-line, this field is automatically updated by a plug-in.
As per _config.yml, the default timezone is UTC. For other timezones, set it explicitly as offset (for example +0300)
The embedded images are located in the /assets/images folder.
For a certain degree of portability, the recommended editable format is PPTX. On macOS, PPTX files can be processed with Keynote, although saving can be done only indirectly via Export To, not directly via Save.
The preferred format is PNG. The available width is lower than 700 px, but apparently Jekyll scales images properly. By default Keynote exports images as 1024 x 768, which is generally ok for regular (non-HiRes) screens.
