Proposal: Move Inclusive Learning Design Handbook to docpad

[Steven Githens]

Hi Jonathan,

I’ve enjoyed using the local docpad configuration that Simon created originally for some of the projects, and it’s nice how similar it is when running it locally and viewing/editing it on github.  It was also pretty easy to start up the local docpad server.  I think it’s a good idea.
