Each file in _posts/ is a project (an experiment). Projects are listed as cards on the Projects page (projects.md) and each one has its own page rendered with _layouts/post.html.
If you want to run the server locally clone the repo and install jekyll:
Then run:
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
If bundle install fails because of the versions pinned in Gemfile.lock, you can delete it locally, but do not push the modifications to the Gemfile or Gemfile.lock on the repo when you add your project.
When pushing, only add the files you modified '.md', '.scss', images etc..
Every push to main is checked by the "Jekyll site CI" workflow (.github/workflows/jekyll-docker.yml), which builds the site. The site itself is published by GitHub Pages directly from the main branch.
Contact any admin; for instance, julien.rosenberger@inria.fr.
All projects live in _posts/. The easiest way is to copy one of the templates:
templates/ongoing_experiment.md: sections for a running study (Purpose, What Happens, Who Can Participate, Duration, Compensation, How To Participate).templates/completed_experiment.md: sections for a finished study (Purpose, Method, Key Findings, Future Work, Publications).
Then change at least the title, date, summary and permalink in the copied front matter.
Name the new file:
_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-your-project-slug.md
The date prefix controls the sort order on the Projects page (newest first). The URL is set by permalink.
Every project starts with a YAML front matter block between --- delimiters, for instance:
---
layout: post
title: "Your Project Title" (to change)
date: 2026-05-11 (to change)
summary: "One or two sentences describing the project (shown on the project card)." (to change)
permalink: your_project_slug (will be in the URL) (to change)
status: "Ongoing" (or "Completed" or "Under Development") (to change)
people:
- "First Collaborator" (to change)
- "Second Collaborator" (to change)
location: "INRIA Bordeaux (France)" (to change)
contact:
name: "First Collaborator" (to change)
email: "first.collaborator@inria.fr" (to change)
thumbnail: "/images/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-your-project-slug/thumbnail.png" (to change)
participate_type: "On-site" (or "Remote") (to change)
---| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
layout |
Yes | Always post. |
title |
Yes | Project title shown on the card and the page header. Use double quotes if it contains colons or special characters. |
date |
Yes | Date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Should match the filename date. |
summary |
Yes | Short description shown on the project card. |
permalink |
Yes | Slug for the project URL (e.g. permalink: question-asking → developmentalsystems.org/DQUEST/question-asking/). Omit the leading slash. |
status |
Yes | Badge shown on the card and the page. Only "Ongoing" (yellow) and "Completed" (blue, card greyed out) are styled; other values (e.g. "Under Development") are displayed without colour. |
people |
Optional | List of collaborator names, displayed comma-separated on the card and the page. |
location |
Optional | Where the study takes place, shown on the card and the page. |
contact |
Optional | Contact person shown at the top of the project page, with name and email (the email becomes a mailto: link). |
thumbnail |
Optional | Path to the image shown on the project card. Shared stock images are in images/ (e.g. /images/pexels-cottonbro-9290021.jpg). |
participate_type |
Optional | "On-site" or "Remote". Currently not displayed anywhere. |
Collaborators shown on the Contact page (contact.md: name, photo, role, institution...) are defined separately, one file per person, in _collaborators/ (photos in images/collaborators/). The names in people are plain text and are not linked to those files.
After the front matter, write the content in Markdown using ## headings. The current projects use:
## Purpose## What Happens## Who Can Participate## Duration## Compensation## How To Participate
MathJax is enabled: use $...$ for inline and $$...$$ for display math.
Store project images in a dedicated subdirectory (a folder, without .md in its name):
images/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-your-project-slug/
The site is served under /DQUEST, so in the body of the project, reference images with relative_url (a plain /images/... path would miss the /DQUEST prefix):
*Figure caption goes here.*The thumbnail field does not need this: the Projects page adds the prefix itself.

The design of this blog is inspired by Anatole (Hugo theme by Alexander Bilz), developed with Claude Code (Anthropic) and built with Jekyll.
- have another branch for development and where others could see other test versions.
