The new WAC website: towards a sustainable conference
summary
Centralized site collects proceedings from 2015–2018 and generates consistent pages with abstracts, BibTeX and PDF/video links; build uses Eleventy static-site generator, Bootstrap and npm modules for bibtex→JSON parsing plus an Excel sheets per track workflow planned. PDF text extraction required heavy manual correction, so metadata import is now automated where possible. Site is live on GitHub with deployment hosted externally, works for browsing but still has occasional glitches and needs an appointed web officer for yearly maintenance.
