Since the GSoC ideas were updated I thought I'd build the web site.
Previously I'd just run `node build-website.js` in `packages/tools`, but this deletes all files in `../../docs/api/references/plugin_api/`. Hmmm, very weird. Ok, different approach then.
From the root dir I tried to run `npm run buildWebsite`. Unfortunately it abends:
```auto
$ npm run buildWebsite
> buildWebsite
> npm run buildApiDoc && node ./packages/tools/build-website.js && npm run buildPluginDoc && npm run buildSettingJsonSchema
> buildApiDoc
> npm start --prefix=packages/app-cli -- apidoc ../../readme/api/references/rest_api.md
> joplin@1.8.0 start
> gulp build -L && node "build/main.js" --stack-trace-enabled --log-level debug --env dev "apidoc" "../../readme/api/references/rest_api.md"
> buildPluginDoc
> typedoc --name 'Joplin Plugin API Documentation' --mode file -theme './Assets/PluginDocTheme/' --readme './Assets/PluginDocTheme/index.md' --excludeNotExported --excludeExternals --excludePrivate --excludeProtected --out docs/api/references/plugin_api packages/lib/services/plugins/api/

@laurent I saw that you updated the web site. Which command did you run? Is it possible that I'm missing a dependency even though I ran `npm i` in the root dir?

It should be `npm run buildDoc` but I'm not sure in your case why it's not finding the `settingschema` command. It should have been built with `npm i`

I've just pulled the latest changes from dev and ran `npm i`. Unfortunately it also abends:

But I think the issue is:
```auto
22 verbose stack Error: command failed
22 verbose stack at ChildProcess. (/Users/tessus/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/@npmcli/promise-spawn/index.js:64:27)
22 verbose stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:315:20)
22 verbose stack at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1048:16)
22 verbose stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:288:5)
```
P.S.: I also tried running `npm run clean` before `npm i`, but to no avail.
