Got pinged about this offline. Thanks for keeping at it, Marton!
I think there are two road-blocks here (1) Is the mechanism using which the website is built good enough - mvn-site / hugo etc? (2) Is the new website good enough? For (1), I just think we need more committer attention and get feedback rapidly and get it in. For (2), how about we do it in a different way in the interest of progress? - We create a hadoop.apache.org/new-site/ where this new site goes. - We then modify the existing web-site to say that there is a new site/experience that folks can click on a link and navigate to - As this new website matures and gets feedback & fixes, we finally pull the plug at a later point of time when we think we are good to go.
