Project lead here: We are about to push v2.0 live, apologies if the site goes down momentarily.

The one time we try to update things quietly...

EDIT: We are going to post 2.0 tomorrow morning our time (that's about 18 hours from now), but we have setup a redirect from the old dev version that was posted to a newer student version. The dev version shows all comments/planning etc so harder to read. Though everything will look much nicer tomorrow morning with the new open source version hosted here https://github.com/uccser/cs-field-guide

Is the older version of the site available anywhere? I actually prefer the larger text and greater use of screen width. The 2.0 version of the site is a bit hard on the eyes for me (feels cramped and small).
Nice work!
Thanks Kinnard! We had been using the Sphinx documentation engine to produce the version linked. We have spent the last year writing our own static site generator system alongside making the whole website open source. We are very happy with the result and looking forward to supporting more languages and curriculums soon.
Did the update happen? The footer on the main page still says that it was created with Sphinx.
Hi Smoyer,

We have pushed through the update, may still be some caching issues. Try loading http://www.csfieldguide.org.nz/ with a clear cache (or in an incognito browser), you should see a page with an indigo background. The Sphinx version is our old website.

Thanks for the update - <shift> reload was all it took.
