[Neuroimaging] FA images Was: Nipy.org new website needs a complete remake

[Gael Varoquaux]

-1 on flask: it's twisting something that not been built for this
purpose.

My votes in order of preference (note that my opinion doesn't matter
much, as I won't be doing the work):

* sphinx: every package of the nipy constellation already uses it
* pelican: I have a great experience with it (using purecss that's much
  lighter than bootstrap, check my personnal website out)
* jekyll: seems reasonnably easy to use, but will require most people to
  learn a new development ecosystem
* flask: great project to serve dynamic websites, but not designed for
  static.
