Jekyll [1] (as made famous by github pages [2]) has to be one of the more widely used at this point. Content in html or e.g. markdown, with page templating etc. Not very hard to set up, plus a bunch of people know it now due to github pages integration.
We could easily set up a post-commit hook or cron job to pull the site down and run jekyll.

My concern is that without any templating system at all, some simple changes are going to require a copy and paste into every single page. Don't we need something beyond plain static pages that are directly edited?
Forrest is kind of a dead project at this point, but there are a ton of other templating systems that generate static pages that are much more lightweight than Forrest. Shouldn't we consider one of them? Kris Jurka
