| -simple is a theme designed for blogger using static site generator like jekyll, Hexo etc. |
| 3 | +This citizen-led project aspires to create a participatory consultation |
| 4 | +experience around Canadian electoral reform. I was inspired by the |
| 5 | +[official Government of Canada citizen survey |
| 6 | +tool](http://mydemocracy.ca/). |

| -Especially for those who writes in both Chinese and English. The font-type setting looks really good when writers use Chinese mixed with English. |
| 8 | +**Note:** This is an independent effort by citizens. It is in no way |
| 9 | +endorsed or supported by the Government of Canada. |

| -It has been long that using font with Chinese in web was a tedious and time-consuming work. It would be almost impossible to make different OS or devices to look the same. |
| 14 | +We are serving the site from GitHub Pages, a free hosting service of |
| 15 | +GitHub. |

| -iOS 9 has pulished some new fonts in Chinese and I decided to make one theme that looks good on iOS devices, at the same time, making it acceptable on computers using other fonts. |
| 17 | +There are two sites, to serve both official languages. Having said that, |
| 18 | +we strive for a single codebase. GitHub Pages has the limitation where |
| 19 | +it only allows hosting one website per project repository. Since we need |
| 20 | +two sites, we simple host the same code in two repos. Each language |
| 21 | +lives on its own Git branch. We are working to keep these branches as |
| 22 | +similar as possible. |
