Admissions website

This is the source code that drives the admissions website of the department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.

System requirements

This is a static website generated using Hakyll. Any version >=4.5 should be okey for this. Besides you will need GNU make and git if you want to contribute back. The pre-built packages available in Debian stable (jessie) is enough of building the site. To install use

$ sudo apt-get install hakyll

The website is styled using bootstrap version 3.2.0 for css and font-awesome for some iconic fonts. These are include in the source so you do not have to worry installing them.

You can use the following command while working with the site.

make build # build the site
make watch # run a development server on localhost:8000 for testing

If you only care about the contents and not the code that builds the website, you do not need to know any Haskell. You might need to know a bit of pandoc. Most likely you would want to add a new announcements. All you need to do is create a file in the are in the director 'src/announcements/' with a file name prefixed by the date in YYYY-MM-DD-Title.md format and compile the code. The body till the '' will be treated as a teaser for the announcement.

You are free to also hack on the Hakyll source that builds the website. But for this you would need to understand some Haskell.
