[MLA] MLA web site

Thanks Robin,

Things are still a bit weird for me accessing the paper but with recent
changes (I assume) I was able to finally see it.

So, we have satisfied all the needed edits to go live so we can go live.

I hope we can keep the work going here. The most important thing still to
be done is adding access to Eelco's Tidal paper. I will try to make that
happen now that Robin has granted us greater editing privilege.
