All looks good, I just have a small gramatical question... you can dismiss it

[vfried]

*discussions? (I'm not sure this is correct or not, just asking)

[ciyer]

Both discussion and discussions can be used here grammatically because discussion is both a countable and an uncountable noun: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#uncountable

There is a subtle difference in meaning, but not a fundamental one.

How easy would it be to somehow template these pages or otherwise disconnect them from the code? I'm thinking that non-sdsc deployments might want to put different information here.

[ciyer]

It would be simple to let deployments specify the content of the help page in Markdown and render that instead of our default page.

That works for static content like this, but we are also thinking about a plug-in mechanism to make it possible to extend Renkulab and would allow introduction of dynamic content, and maybe it would be better to structure help as a plug-in.

I like the new content of "Getting Help", it definitely looks better than before!

A minor layout consideration: when the page becomes larger, the content is not aligned anymore on the left and, depending on the browser width, there may be a big gap. Does it make sense to keep it aligned on the left as it's the case with other "tabbed" pages? (e.g. a project's page)

Seems like markdown support would get us most of the way there - why would you need dynamic content on the help pages?

[ciyer]

Dynamic content on the help page is probably not necessary, but a plug-in that would display on the Project page would need to be dynamic, and I think we should have just one plug-in mechanism, not different ones depending on whether content is static or dynamic.

@lorenzo-cavazzi I switched to a Flexbox-based layout. Try this one out.

Nice!
