# Introduction 

This project runs on *Sandpoints*, a module/theme for the static website builder [Hugo][]. 
Sandpoints is developed for free, open, and collaborative publishing using open-source infrastructure. 
Content is organized with plain-text Markdown files, and collaboration/version control is managed via [Git]. 
Thus, with the infrastructure in place, no programming is needed. 

However, for managing and maintaining the site in a sustainable manner, as well as for processing/publishing submissions, *some knowledge is required pertaining to how this infrastructure works and how it can be maintained; how to work with ![Markdown files](article:markdown-formatting); how to manage distributed collaboration via a version control system; and to adhere to agreed upon conventions.*

This is an internal 'issue' (supposed to remain non-public, intended as a 'living document'), which contains the following 'articles': 

1. ![Understanding Sandpoints](article:int-sandpoints), gives an overview of the philosophy of *Sandpoints*. 
2. ![Site management](article:int-management) contains instruction and guides for maintainers of the site. 
3. ![Content creation](article:int-content) contains a guide for creating new content in a consistent and reliable way.
4. ![Conventions](article:int-conventions) is intended for gathering conventions we should go by. 
5. ![Library management](article:int-library), contains a guide for the library maintainers and contributors. 
6. ![Feature requests and issues](article:int-features), is intended for listing potential required features, or filing issues.
