For the hands-on class, there will be a special build of Flamenco. It
disables Shaman on all platforms (for uniformity for all participants)
and hard-codes `localhost` as URL for the Workers (to prevent
participants' Workers from finding each other's Managers).
The special build of Flamenco will be done on a separate branch
(`bcon-2023`), but the website should stay for longer, and thus this
commit is on the `main` branch.
At least for the experimental packages, there should be a link to the
changelog. For release versions we should maybe have something nicer; at
least it should link to the changelog for that particular version, instead
of just the top of the file.
Symbolic links on Windows require some special user privilege, and
Shaman can now check for this at startup. Hopefully this helps in guiding
people towards a working Shaman system.
Instead of explaining all the menu items, just explain the basic actions
(shut down, restart, sleep, wake up), and explain the 'after task is
finished' vs. 'immediately' separately.
Add a HTTP redirect for the SIGGRAPH hands-on class. It redirects to
https://siggraph.stuvel.eu/ so that I can easily update the website while
at SIGGRAPH itself.
Change the package base name of the Go code, from
`git.blender.org/flamenco` to `projects.blender.org/studio/flamenco`.
The old location, `git.blender.org`, has no longer been use since the
[migration to Gitea][1]. The new package names now reflect the actual
location where Flamenco is hosted.

Links of the `[text][linkname]` form should not have a space between
the two bracketed parts. And I removed the link to projects.blender.org
because the other two links also link there (indirectly resp. directly).
- Hide sidebar in pages visible in the top nav, except for Docs
- Create an "About" page, featuring the design principles

A few minor adjustments:
- Added a note about the job type being third-party, and what that implies.
- Removed the need to use Git or the mention of symlinks, to simplify
installation instructions.
- Fixed a few markup issues.
Additions to the documentation:
- Page for collecting custom job types, with multi-pass job type.
- BAT Pack Error Message solution on Windows.
- Clarificationof two-way variable usage in jobs.

Expand the 'Variables' page so that it links to the two-way variables
page from within the body of text. Having the link in only the side-bar
was too easy to miss.
Move the "Custom Job Types" expandable section to its own, normal
section.
The expandable sections in the docs aren't that clear, visually. It's
easy to miss that they can be expanded. This was the only use of this
feature.
