Unlike a number of themes that exist for Pelican, the Elegant theme is currently under active development. The immediate benefit of this for you is that Elegant supports recent technologies/services such as Utterances for comments and the Applause button for quick and simple user feedback. The other main benefits are that any requests, be they bug reports or feature requests, are logged in the project’s Issues database.
These issues are actively going through triage, being worked on by the Elegant community, and being addressed in ongoing releases of Elegant. In addition, the roadmap let’s you see what the Elegant team is working on, allowing you to decide if you want to contribute and help bring some feature of the theme to life!
To give you the control to decide whether to update your website and benefit from the latest version of Elegant, we offer two automated ways to find out about new releases.
