I do know what it is; I also know what Jenkins, Jakarta, Jellyfish and Jasper are.

There is literally nothing in the text of the linked page to provide enough context for those of us who are familiar with projects but bad with names to decipher which one of the thousands of projects we've seen announced or discussed it is about.

Jekyll is one of hundreds of projects that popped up in the Great Static Site Generator Rush of 2012, so I think asking for a blurb is reasonable.

To be fair, Jekyll was created at least 4 years ago, and was, by and large, the inspiration for those that came in 2012.
I meant no disrespect to Jekyll itself, and you're right, the first commit https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/commit/d189e05d236769c1e55... is from October 2008 (or "5 years ago" in Github speak)
