Hello Platonides, Thank you for replying, The reason we use Wordpress is that this is the solution that was recommended by the experts with whom we consulted. While the tutorial is largely static, we wanted to have the option of a CMS to update content, add topics or exercises, and even to be able to add the tutorial in additional languages. I wonder if you could elaborate more about "a process that statified its content before publishing on toolforge"? Bear in mind I don't have any technical/IT background.
