add lateral banner with each student

a side bar with the students and colour them in red if their post is older than two weeks.

Restart cron build when GSOC starts

Improve the student list on the site

Each summer, a new box appears with the name of all the GSOC participants. That list shows their names in red if they are late with their fortnight posts.
The list does its job, but it could be placed in a better location and be a bit more mobile-friendly.

[docs] How does it work?

Add details about how is this blog aggregator working so it's not only on my head.

When pulled from Medium, the articles do not show the code snippets embedded in them.

For example, in my blog for SunPy, there are a few code snippets.
The same blog on OpenAstronomy's student blogs does not show the code snippets.

Grab whole post, not only summary

The aggregator only takes the first few characters of the post. Taking the whole post will be more useful in case the link to the source disappears.

BUG: Links to blogs are broken

Linking to student blogs are broken (links from the top summary/checkbox table). The blogs themselves exists, so it's a bug in the OA site generation itself.

write small test for yaml file

It's been a few times when the gsoc yaml file includes hidden characters and we are seeing it late. This could be tested quickly.
Otherwise, we get things like: this fail!

Bad Student URL

@siddharthlal25 blog link in the top banner is currently routing to a 404, since his blog is at https://siddharthlal25.github.io/blog/ but the regex parser fails to parse past the first /, resulting in https://siddharthlal25.github.io for the URl.
If you change the regex_url to be "(?P<url>https?://[^\s/]+(/[^s/]+/)?)" the behavior changes to

"https://siddharthlal25.github.io/blog/gsoc/gsoc-blog-0" => "https://siddharthlal25.github.io/blog/"
"https://siddharthlal25.github.io/blog/fake-page" => "https://siddharthlal25.github.io/blog/"
"https://siddharthlal25.github.io/fake-page" => "https://siddharthlal25.github.io"

I don't know if this works with the other students' setups. If its a bigger hassle to change this, perhaps @siddharthlal25 you should add a redirect to your site.

BUG: Names aren't picked up properly for blog

IMO the names should be e.g. github handles, or actual names, yet we see e.g. an OpenAstronomy

What happen with the theme!!

The theme has changed and nothing looks like it used to!! Why????!!!!!
And then @Cadair prefers nikola.... 😝

Some links on the sidebar are not correct

@nikita-astronaut discovered that his name was not linked properly. Probably because somewhere we are removing what's after the .

Add link to main openastronomy page

@dpshelio - I think there should be a link somewhere pointing to the blogs (http://openastronomy.org/Universe_OA/) from the main openastronomy webpage, typically here: http://openastronomy.org/blog.html
