Wow, okay cool! If we have among us the labor power to set up git hooks so
that changes made on a ssg source repo on github are reliably rebuilt
quickly, that would be ideal, I think.

However, if it would be a burden or unmaintained, then using a 3rd party
host that costs $0 and has those core features and is maintained would be
better, I think.

I'm not really qualified to make the call on which ssg is best for us. I
took a quick look and of the 2, I think I prefer tesla to lektor.

As long as the one chosen accepts markdown and something simply like liquid
or jinja2 for templates, I'm happy :)

Re: TLS, since it is a common problem, someone already fixed it,

Who will set this up on the SL servers, and when? :)
