Cc: admin, committee. My personal sense is that at the moment we should take the path of least resistance, which I understand is a new, separate platform site that looks _sorta_ like the proposed new one, but also isn't the new one, and isn't integrated with anything in particular?
The key thing is to get the platform out and ready to go. When new-www is ready to go, we can look at how stuff ties together, but its ok to let things slip out of sync in the meantime. In general, I advocate keeping a separate platform site perhaps even with a new domain such as platform.haskell.org, so that platform changes don't affect main website changes and vice-versa. --gershom On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 4:49 PM, Mateusz Kowalczyk <[email protected]> wrote: > On 07/29/2014 10:42 PM, Mark Lentczner wrote: >> As you all probably know, HP is about to release 2014.2.0.0.
