Six important subdirectories

1. content/: General purpose pages
2. content/blog/: the blog
3. people/: For members
4. projects/: For projects
5. papers/: For papers. There is a script (add-paper-stub.py) to help you get started.
6. public/: Files in these directories are just served directly. The subdirectories images/people and images/papers have a specific purpose (see people/README.md and papers/README.md, respectively)

An important concept is that of a slug, which is a computer-friendly short identifier. For example, Luis' slug is luis_pedro_coelho as determined by the fact that his information is in the file people/**luis_pedro_coelho**.md. This is then used to identify Luis' photo (public/images/people/luis_pedro_coelho.jpeg) and to refer to Luis in project member lists.

This is an elm-pages website, which allows us to mix Markdown static content (see above) with full Elm logic and active pages. If you only want to update content, the above instructions should be enough to get started, but if you want to either test the changes locally or develop the website, you may want to run elm locally.

For development, the following should start a local server (assuming you have npm installed):

npm install
npm start
