There's not much to it:

    git clone https://github.com/tlug/tlug.jp.git
    cd tlug.jp/
    ./Test
    #   Wait a few minutes if you've not used Haskell Stack before

We do have a web scrape of the wiki in the akari.tlug.jp repo (ask Jim
for access) but getting a DB dump in there too would be great.

I've just done a slight bit of reorganization on that repo and added a
README, so it should be pretty clear now what's there. Jim, you may
want to fix any errors I've put in the README.

Yes, that's a primary goal of the proof of concept that Jim, Justin
and I have been working on. Once that's done hosting options also
greatly expand and costs drop.

This is why we have a Git repo! Branch and link!

Oh my! It's certainly possible to do something like that even with a
"static" site, but I find it a bit...overwhelming.

Images (including photos) are no problem, but dumping video in a Git
repo and serving it from the main site is probably not the greatest
idea, for both storage and bandwidth reasons. How about Vimeo?

I made a user page and put my name in it!
