Notes on the Website technology stack

For smooth upgrade of tech stack the following notes would help with understanding which technologies we are using and how to maintain or upgrade them.

Susy 2

Susy 2 is no longer maintained. This is deprecated around 2017. Susy 3 exists but it is better to move to another type of grid system.

It is used in _src/_sass/layout/_config.scss as global defaults

$susy: (
  columns: 12,
  gutters: 1.953125,
  math: fluid,
  output: float,
  gutter-position: inside
);

Recommendation: Investigate whether we could use a more stable grid system.

GulpJs

We are already using the latest version. Website at https://gulpjs.com/

version 4.0.2 was release in May 2019. There are documentation related commits in the gulp repo in the last six months.
