#377 joe-editor.sourceforge.net woefully out of date
I randomly came across this discussion on Wikipedia. It occurs to me that most references to JOE in the wild point at this somewhat obsolete home page. While the Wiki section of the sourceforge project page is the best current source of information, nothing points there.
Perhaps it is worth just making the "home page" a redirect to the Wiki. Or worse, we could put together a bootstrap.js site like everybody else.
I followed through on this threat -- here's a repository that builds a static site, mostly from markdown in the source tree plus a little bit of metadata.
It's git but there's no reason it has to be. Either way I can add it as a repo here and put it up if it's something you're ok with.

Well cool... it's fun trying the bootstrap different themes, "sketchy" is fun.
It's interesting watchnig web technologies evolve.. I never used gulp, and previously used jade instead of ejs.
By all means add it to the repo and put it up.
Jade is probably more in-line with current practices. Mustache is trendier (without venturing into the react-like stuff), but would have been a PITA here. Instead, I wanted something quick and dirty and EJS seemed to be the right fit. Node developers really are spoiled for choice, and there always seems to be at least half a dozen alternatives. It's nice but difficult to navigate sometimes.
Anyway, I added it as a separate repo here (Website in the title bar) and uploaded to the project site with a newly-added publish script. I also flipped the switch to turn on https, which means the link is technically https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/. The old ones redirect.
This needs to be updated to the new git repo, but the site is currently up-to-date so I'm closing this.
