Mission section: boxed mission statement, AI engineering definition,
Hennessy/Patterson & Andrew Ng acknowledgment, 1M learner goal with
log-scale star history chart, star-on-GitHub ask.
New "How We Teach" section: four pillars + expanded stats strip
(chapters, lecture decks, TinyTorch modules, universities).
People page: restructured as credits — featured founders (Vijay + Kari),
Global Outreach (Marco, Brian, Marcelo, Jeremy), Global Educators
compact grid, edX instructors. Initials fallback for missing avatars.
Events page: simplified from 250 lines to 3 cards + CTA linking to
tinyml.seas.harvard.edu as the operational hub.
Community page: renamed outreach section, added "Become a Member" CTA.
Partners page: updated to AI engineering framing.
New license page: multi-license structure (CC-BY-NC-SA for content,
Apache 2.0 for TinyTorch, AGPL v3 for StaffML).
Fixed root LICENSE.md from CC-BY-NC-ND to CC-BY-NC-SA to match intent.
Updated README badge to match.
Navbar: reordered About dropdown (Mission → Our Story → People →
Contributors → License). Stripped textbook accent-bar headers from
site pages via CSS overrides. Threaded "AI engineering" consistently
across all page heroes and taglines.

Add tinytorch/site-quarto/ as a parallel Quarto build of the TinyTorch
website, replacing the MyST/Sphinx-based Jupyter Book setup. The original
site/ is preserved for comparison.
Migration includes:
- _quarto.yml with shared navbar, sidebar (emoji sections, logo, subtitle),
footer, and announcement bar
- New _theme-tinytorch.scss (Amber #D4740C) in shared styles system
- style.scss/dark-mode.scss importing shared ecosystem partials
- All 39 pages converted: 9 content, 4 tier, 6 TITO CLI, 20 module ABOUT
- MyST syntax converted to Quarto (callouts, tabs, mermaid, raw HTML)
- Subscribe modal and ML timeline JS ported as include-after-body
- HTML blocks wrapped in raw HTML fences for proper Pandoc passthrough
- Sidebar subtitle injected via JS (matches original JB sidebar)
Also fix pre-existing unreferenced table in ops_scale.qmd.
Architecture:
- Merge landing, about, community, newsletter into one site/ project
- Move navbar-common.yml to shared/config/ (used by 12 configs)
- Create shared/config/footer-site.yml for centralized footer
- Create shared/scripts/subscribe-modal.js as canonical copy
- Single _quarto.yml replaces 4 independent configs
- One site_libs/ copy replaces four
Features gained:
- Google Analytics on ALL hub pages (was only on book volumes)
- Subscribe modal on landing page (was missing)
- Centralized footer with consistent links
Workflows updated:
- site-preview-dev.yml: matrix strategy → single build job
- site-publish-live.yml: loop over subsites → single build + deploy
- sync-newsletter.yml: builds from unified site project
- publish-all-live.yml: removed stale subsite input
- rewrite-dev-urls.sh: added --shallow flag for unified builds
All 12 navbar-common.yml references updated:
book vol1/vol2, site (unified), slides, instructors, interviews,
kits, labs, mlsysim
- Remove content-visible wrapper from community index.qmd so Quarto
generates TOC entries for the four ## sections
- Add ul.collapse override in _toc.scss to ensure TOC list is visible
- Add explicit .quarto-dark overrides in community.css for opening text,
card headings, and body text visibility
- Scope dark mode blockquote rule to blockquote:not([class]) to avoid
overriding custom spotlight quotes
- Add .content p/li dark mode color rule in _site-dark.scss
- Replace MIT Press SVG placeholder with proper PNG logo
- Update community index.qmd to reference mit-press.png
- Fix Global Network navbar link to /community/ (remove #outreach anchor)
- Update landing _quarto.yml to use shared style-site.scss and site-head.html
- Create shared/ directory with centralized SCSS partials and site-head.html
so site subsites (about, community, newsletter) no longer duplicate
inline header config or reference book-only styles
- Fix subscribe modal: change script src from broken relative path
(../../book/quarto/assets/scripts/subscribe-modal.js) to absolute URL
(https://mlsysbook.ai/vol1/assets/scripts/subscribe-modal.js) which
the rewrite-dev-urls.sh script converts for dev preview automatically
