Fixes #254 when done.

Two issues remain

I am new to Jekyll, and trying to fix the following. Let me know if any of you have thoughts
@hotosm/tech-staff

• Currently, I see that the staff page looks ok, however the _layouts/roster.html is not even called when the Voting Members and Board Members link is selected. Investigating what I need to change to fix this.

• Secondly, the people pages for individuals is messed up for everyone except voting members. Investigating why, and what fixes need to happen here.

@arunasank - when there is a collection/folder present with the same name as markdown file, the collection seems to get the precedence. So in our case markdown file is not invoked for voting-members/ path. Markdown file has the reference to the roster. So instead of getting the roster layout just the folder contents are displayed. I tried moving this as a subfolder under people and the markdown gets invoked. People list is empty because we're not handling this in the roster file yet.

@ramyaragupathy Thanks for investigating! This clarifies a lot of things to me. 🙇‍♀️ I will make the fixes.

@ramyaragupathy and others on @hotosm/tech are there resources you like using for Jekyll advanced usage?

@arunasank For the Liquid templating, this is a good resource: https://shopify.github.io/liquid/. For overall Jekyll layouts, etc: https://learn.cloudcannon.com/

Usually refer to:

• Jekyll documentation
• Jekyll Forum

We are currently trying to figure out if we can use sub-collections on Jekyll. If yes, this would be the preferred approach.

If we cannot figure out sub-collections, we can decide between

• Renaming all the pages to be staff-*, vote-* or board-* or staff-board-* etc, and keeping them all aggregated like they are right now. If we go down this route we would have to modify the permalinks to the pages per conversation with @smit1678 and @ramyaragupathy.
• Grouping files in separate collections, as done on this PR, but if we go down this path, we need to figure out ways to de-duplicate files about members who belong to two different groups. For example, someone who is a voting member and a staff.

Thanks @smit1678 for simplifying this entire fix, and @ramyaragupathy for helping debug. 🙏

I have moved the files to their sub-collections, after @smit1678's fix to config.yml.

I built the website locally, and things look good!
