This is a Hugo theme, forked from the Hugo Lithium theme by Jonathan Rutheiser and Yihui Xie, with modifications by Hadley Wickham, Mara Averick, Robby Shaver, and the tidyverse team, plus changes to make it work better for RStudio teams like tidyverse.org by Desirée De Leon and Alison Hill.
Why graphite? It's a mineral made up of carbon atoms that are arranged in hexes. Graphite is also in pencils-- which makes it familiar, easy to use, and easy to change (i.e. erasable). This theme also has several features that make it easy to use and change too:
- articles (blog posts with a thumbnail image on the listing page and a banner image on the single page; all link with team member names or just plain text for guest contributors)
- authors (team members who may contribute to articles; includes a team listing page plus individual bios that link to articles contributed to for each)
- events (including upcoming event sticky reminders, and upcoming event calendar, and a past event archive organized by year; all link with team member names in attendance)
