Subsite with hints

[fellhorn]

Keep it simple:
Just an array of hints and timestamps. If current server time > timestamp show the hint. Yesterday we discussed to keep that we want the puzzles to be identifiable by colour. So a user can just find the right hints by a colour on his prose text.

Is the servertime in German time or in UTC?

[fellhorn]

CEST
But django has also some timezone handling with USE_TZ enabled:

Where should the subsite be hosted?

[fellhorn]

/hilfe
would be easy to recognize?

[danielrenninghoff]

Should the subsite use the same bootstrap theme?

[fellhorn]

If you want you can reuse it - I do not have a strong opinion about this. But probably it would make it easier.
This site should be mobile first - probably the users will only take a look at the hints on their smartphone

Also it would perhaps be nice to have some js code polling the server, so people don't have to reload. (Depending on how you intend to realize this...)
