[HacktionLab] mark up + template -> html (was Drupocalypse v3 Can it ever stop)

[yossarian]

I've had good experience using Hugo + Git[hub/lab] + free css templates 
recently. As people have said, you use Github as your Markdown admin 
system. A cron job does a git pull on your `master` branch once a minute 
and suddenly you've got a cute little CMS.

The advantage of Hugo over, say, Jekyll, is that you literally drop the 
`hugo` binary into place (it's native code, runs on Linux, Mac, or even 
Windows if you've got some weird emergency). No language runtime to 
install. Ruby is great but it's one of the worst languages runtimes to 
install if you don't do it a lot.

On the upside though, Jekyll has a lot of really nice pre-built 
templates available. Hugo has some, but Jekyll probably wins there.
