We should update the Philosophy Section to include a mention / link to https://manubot.github.io/manufesto/. Currently, the section reads:

manubot.org/index.html

Lines 242 to 284 in 5dce1aa

<section id="our-philosophy">

Our Philosophy
</h3>
<div class="row">
<p>
Manuscripts are the primary basis of scholarly communication, yet the
process of creating them has not kept in step with the advancement of
technology or the evolving best-practices of science.
</p>
<p>
Traditionally, authoring of manuscripts takes place in a closed manner.
While most scientific material is eventually distributed to some kind of
public medium, the process of developing and reviewing the material is
usually done in private, contained to a handful of individuals. The tools
used are often outmoded, restrictive, and overall poorly-suited for the
task of collaborative, scientific writing. The time it takes to review and
publish can be
<a

>unreasonably long</a
>.
</p>
<p>
We believe that this process is antiquated and must be reformed. Good
science depends upon many things that the conventional approach doesn't
provide: A diversity of input and perspectives. Spontaneous and
cross-discipline contributions. Organic and wide-spread discovery and
dissemination of knowledge. The fostering of a free, global information
commons. A method of real-time, continuous science, performed entirely in
the open.
</p>
<p>
Current technology easily affords huge advantages over the old way of
doing things, both in convenience and in the quality of the result.
Manubot is a solution to the past and a push towards a future ideal, where
scientific writing is transparent, reproducible, immediate,
permissionless, versioned, automated, collaborative, open, linked,
provenanced, decentralized, hackable, interactive, annotated, and free of
charge.

@vincerubinetti do you have a preferred implementation of how we should mention the Manufesto?

Maybe another one of those big red buttons that just says "manifesto" or "our manifest" along with an appropriate font awesome icon:

Sounds good to me. Bullseye works
