Thanks Ken! I think we might consider doing a series of changes vs having to do one “big drop” to keep building momentum.
Draft plan: 1. Cut over to Hugo 2. Vote on a more modern theme (hint: docsy!! ref: https://example.docsy.dev/) 3. Update some out-dated style concepts — changing website theme when moving between components broker, CMS, NMS, etc. 4. On-going — update content Thanks! > On Feb 24, 2026, at 6:37 AM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ken > > Yes, I saw the PR.
