> Urubu is also the 10th album of Antonio Carlos Jobim, one of my favorite song composers. As a Tom Jobim fan, this warmed my heart. Thank you. But, I still prefer Stone Flower [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Flower_%28album%29

Came here to say the same thing. The name gave me a giggle. Lol.

Hello: I created this project because I needed a generator for a static website - not just a blog. To accomplish this, the website structure matches the source structure exactly. In a subdirectory, you use the index.md file to specify the content, either explicitly by listing it, or implicitly by specifying the ordering key and direction. A blog would be reverse order by date, but any other scheme is possible. In add…

This is very similar to Hugo http://gohugo.io, my current website solution. The content organization is virtually identical. The approach of viewing a website as more than a blog is the same. Hugo also benefits from tons of themes, a large community and a ton of additional features.

Pelican is another Python-based static site generator with a large userbase[0]. It has these features plus a few more years worth of development, in many cases adapting from an original author's narrow set of use cases to fit more general needs (that seems like how these pieces of software tend to evolve). It has a kind community, lots more good development plans, and many useful plugins. I believe a lot of people pass it by, simply because it still needs some help putting its best foot forward[1].

I came here expecting the name to be a soccer reference. I guess this explanation is much better.

How does this compare to Jekyll?

It is heavily inspired by some Jekyll features, and I have tried to add recognition for this in the docs. However, it is not blog-oriented and it is in Python ;-).

The distinguishing feature is that the the website structure matches the source structure exactly, which enables a number of other features such as flexible ordering and wiki-links.

I might have used this if I knew about it 2 months ago. Instead I built this: https://github.com/muellermichel/guetzli How do you handle multilanguage content? Also, may I suggest implementing autopulling on github webhooks (if you haven't already)? It's a great way to keep a site in sync with what people push to a repository or even edit in the github web interface.

No multilanguage support.

I do use autopulling for some websites, works great indeed.
