@csarven this PR is only to test that Jekyll templating can be used with the current setup.

Checking the netlify deployment of this PR, it seems perfectly possible.

Are there specific reasons for not using templating that outweigh the benefits of having simple templating in place?

When we were redesigning the decision was to move away from templating systems because they come with their own dependencies, as well as to help other contributors to jump into plain ol' HTML without having to learn random languages/templating systems. And keeping it declarative.

It was also deemed to be simpler to maintain the pages/resources as independent units of information. That also paves the way to be able to update those documents directly (with something like the Solid Protocol) since there was also a strong interest in the group to actually host the solidproject.org website on from a Solid server - eating own cooking. (Whether dokieli or something else is of interest to author / publish is the next step.)

Happy to provide more background but that's the gist of it.
