Jekyll is basically a set of markdown files you edit in a text editor and then they're rendered in the browser as valid HTML by the generator (liquid, I think). It's pretty simple to set up and use, but you have to be comfortable with typing away in the markdown syntax. From the previous thread, seems like Middleman is a similar concept except perhaps with more internationalization options out of the box.

Starting this thread to discuss the different solutions, what they offer and how many people have used them before.
I know Drupal better than other CMSs and it fits the requirements although static generation is not out of the box but supported by a module(like most things in Drupal). Content is usually created and modified through a web interface that offers either source code view or a WYSIWYG GUI but can be template based using text files on disk.
Can anyone explain a bit how Jekyll would work in the context of the Tor website? Do users need to create the content on disk or through a web interface?
