I was thinking about something like Jekyll, which is used by GitHub for 
project blogs etc. It's basically a template and text transformation 
engine, you write templates for your site and content (posts, docs, ...) 
in e.g. Markdown. The generator then compiles static HTML files for you 
to upload.

Content would stay as is (in e.g. Markdown form) unless me modify it, 
the goal is just to make maintenance easier.

I'd take the current design.

Since this is more of an internal restructuring of the current site, we 
can all maintain it. But if you want to focus on FT code, sure, I could 
step up :) But first I'd have to do the ground work ;)

Sure, that's the goal :)
