Andrija, You have a point for sure. I can research for a good WP theme and suggest some wireframes for a new blog. Then if the community is OK and approves it, we can implement it.
Something simple, clean and showing the identity of Apache CloudStack. Also with improved UX and option to show our news and achievements to the world.

Up to you. Every new ACS release asks for updating the same blog page, and that is complete pain in the neck, almost a suicide action. Let's better push forward the ACS website/blog to a manageable-by-normal-people CMS platform. Just muy 2 cents.

In fact, we have had this discussion a number of times over the years. For example [1] Every time its raised, most people seem to be +1 on having a site that can be easily maintained/ managed with tools that are familiar with the more marketing focussed people in our community (i.e. some sort of CMS) . However, every time, the initiative has fizzled out because of the "belief" that top level project websites HAVE to be hosted on Apache infra and have to be static HTML. We then get into long discussions about everybody's favourite types of HTML generator tools - most of which immediately switch off folks like Ivet - who (without putting words into their mouths) just want a wordpress/jupal/etc site that is easy to manage & update I spoke to some of the infra guys at Apachecon NA 2019. They seemed informally open to the idea of a project hosting their website on something like wordpress.com<http://wordpress.com><http://wordpress.com>. They referred me to a legal discussion that theyd had [2]. Which, in summary, says - yes, you can use a 3rd party to host a site and it doesn’t have to be static HTML. AFAIK, I don’t think that ever became policy, but the key message is, as long as certain requirements are met there seems (or rather seemed at the time) to be no problem with doing this So, the question needs to be: as long as the details can be figured, and infra/policy allows it, is there any remaining objection to rebuilding our website on something like wordpress ? If there is no strong objection here, I'd be happy to reach out to infra to check that their thoughts from 2 years ago remain the same and what is/is not OK I think that they'd want to see a vote from this community - but lets see the art of the possible first. Thoughts ?

If that would be that easily doable, we should surely migrate ages ago - there are certain limits from the ASF itself, I don't know all the details - but it's the same story for the main web site - old, ugly, unfriendly - make's you want to avoid it... but, there you go... it's always good to try to move forward.
