The name is a joke. Every framework is a monument that its author believes will outlast the work produced in it. The
name is also a warning: the writing you put in a framework might actually outlast the framework itself, which is why
the framework should be small, coherent, and legible — not a cathedral built to impress.

The core of this website has been extracted and released as [Ozymandias](https://git.levineuwirth.org/neuwirth/ozymandias), a static site framework under the MIT license. It is the full pipeline: the Haskell build system, the Pandoc filter stack, all templates, all stylesheets, all client-side JavaScript — minus my personal content. If you want a website that works like this one and want to understand exactly how it works, Ozymandias is where to start.

This site is Ozymandias with my configuration and my content. Changes flow in both directions, with the understanding that the framework is the more conservative of the two repositories: features that turn out to be site-specific stay in levineuwirth.org; features that generalize get ported to Ozymandias. The filter pipeline and the template system are intended to stay in sync.
The divergence is, in a sense, the point. A personal website is a *position*, as I write in the [[Colophon]]. Ozymandias is the mechanism; the position is what you put in it.
