The Website is mostly static but is using Grails 2.0 <http://grails.org/>

To contribute to the website you need to learn 2 simple differences from
straight HTML:
* The <g:link> tag
* and ${resource} method (used inside of "href")

I've documented this here:
http://code.google.com/p/iui/wiki/WebsiteProject#Editing_the_GSP_Templates

I'd prefer if people tested their changes - but won't be a stickler for
simple changes - Grails can be installed in about 15 minutes:
http://code.google.com/p/iui/wiki/WebsiteProject#Installing_Grails_and_Running_Locally

Grails is definitely overkill for a simple site like this, but GSP is a
nice template language and it is not necessary to learn more than a few
simple things to work with it. ("The simple things are easy - the hard
things are possible")
