Thanks for that! This does sound like a very workable solution. Two questions: 1) What will be the procedure for updating the website, once ready? Pushing to a specific git repo, AFAIU, but who exactly will have push access, and can we - as project maintainers - grant push access to additional KDE developers who would like to contribute to our pages? 2) Can I preview the converted page live? That would make it easier to scan for cases of bad conversion. > And it would be nice if the rkward devs could provide a new version > of https://rkward.kde.org/File:RKWard_060_450.png (using breeze theme > and icons and not from 2012). > > Let's try to update this website very soon since the mediawiki > version is still 1.19 (EOL 2015) Will do my best (which may not be much, though).
