+<h2 id="colophon">Maintaining this site</h2>
+<p>I took a great amount of inspiration
+from <a href="//technomancy.us/colophon">Phil Hagelberg</a>'s setup.
+The pages of this site are written in plain HTML using GNU Emacs,
+with <a href="//gnu.org/s/m4">GNU M4</a> acting as a full-featured
+template engine.
+A <a href="/GNUmakefile"><code>GNUmakefile</code></a> provides
+convenient <code>make</code> rules to build and publish the site.  The
+bibliography of my <a href="/publications">publications</a> is
+generated from <a href="/bandali.bib"><code>bandali.bib</code></a>
+using <a href="//www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/">bibtex2html</a>,
+and further processed and put together
+using <a href="//gnu.org/s/sed">GNU sed</a> and another
+<code>GNUmakefile</code>.  The git repository containing all the
+sources used to build this site is
+available <a href="//git.emacsconf.org/bandali/site">here</a>.</p>
