ETH Debate

A small static website for mapping debate topics.

Local setup

Setup a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt

Build the site:

python3 build.py && python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory public

Adding new topics

1. Copy content/issuance/ and rename, such as content/focil/.
2. Update content/focil/topic.yaml. Keep slug, and add any topic-specific overrides such as title, description, eyebrow, hero_title, or social_image if they should differ from config.yaml.
3. Update the content files:
   • topic.yaml
   • overview.md
   • potential-paths.yaml
   • key-resources.yaml
   • arguments-for.yaml
   • arguments-against.yaml
4. Add source files to the topics source folder, such as content/issuance/sources
