This has bitten us severely in the past, so I can definitely appreciate their sentiment here. The other sites using Wordpress are usually devoted to specific applications - so it is easier for them to depart from our "common identity" rather than our core sites (like www.kde.org, dot.kde.org - which should have a common identity) I understand that work was done previously to migrate the Dot to Hugo as well, so it would be easier to reuse that work too. > > So, yeah, final answer: Wordporess, please. > > Cheers > > Paul > Thanks, Ben > -- > Promotion & Communication > > www: http://kde.org > Mastodon: https://mastodon.technology/@kde > Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kde/ > Twitter: https://twitter.com/kdecommunity > LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kde > > >
