[webarch-websites] Framework for a Nikola site

[Chris Croome]

Hi

On Debian 7 you can install Nikola like this:

  sudo aptitude install python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev \
                        libxslt1-dev python-textile
  sudo pip install nikola[extras]

Then you can checkout the site and install the textile plugin:

  git clone gitosis at git.webarchitects.co.uk:webarch-nikola.git
  cd webarch-nikola
  nikola plugin -i textile

Then you can build and serve the site locally:

  nikola build ; nikola serve

Then the one test page I imported after using Jekyll to convert the
existing Webarchitects site to textile files can be opened:

  http://localhost:8000/stories/about.html

One issue is that URLs like this:

  http://www.webarch.net/about

Will need webserver level redirects to the new URLs as the following
didn't work in the config file:

  REDIRECTIONS = [("/about", "/about.html")]

All the best

Chris
