KDE.org/New Site

We need to get things done.

There were discussions about what to use. At the end, 3 solutions where retained:

• custom CMS
  • pro: does exactly what we need
  • con: not enough manpower, need to maintain in the future
• wordpress
  • pro: very easy to deal with, should be easy to maintain (updates)
  • con: maybe not flexible enough, might need to create/edit plugins
• drupal
  • pro: easy to maintain (updates) and for users to edit
  • con: more complex than wordpress
