🎨 Design Approach

• Font: System fonts (no Google Fonts)
• Colors: Black, white, one accent color
• Layout: Single column, max-width 800px
• Mobile: Naturally responsive (it's just text)

✂️ What We're NOT Doing

• ❌ Working groups pages
• ❌ Events/News section
• ❌ Testbeds
• ❌ Blog
• ❌ Complex membership system
• ❌ Search
• ❌ Dark mode
• ❌ Animations
• ❌ Three.js visualizations
• ❌ Multiple layouts
• ❌ Image galleries

📋 Quick Start Checklist

Pre-Sprint

• Gather any must-have images (logo, architecture diagram)

• Patreon account setup

Sprint

• Evening 1: Setup complete, test deployment works
• Evening 2: All content written and added

module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("src/css");
  eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("src/img");
  
  return {
    dir: {
      input: "src",
      output: "_site"
    }
  };
};

Minimal package.json scripts
