[kwlug-disc] Website Wishlist

[B.S.]

You have not noted that it is not an issue of static vs drupal (any version), but against any particular technology. e.g. wiki, which, as I understand it, would be about as close to the ease of access and multiple maintainability to static as is possible to get, except by actually being static.

If I understand the comments made to date correctly, you have asked what needs to change, and who will step up to actually commit themselves to performing the work. In large part there has been no wide based response (by dozens or more) expressing any particular wide range of desires. Comments seem mostly to surround "Don't remove <xyz>" and/or simplify some of the complexity, which seems to me accomplishable within the current framework.

Which would seem to say, for those engaged, it ain't significantly broken, at least to the extent of people willing to step up and do anything about it, so there is no apparent need to do anything at all.

If I read correctly, there is some issue of excessive maintenance requirements, however it seems there are two basic proposed solutions: (a) remove / simplify some complexity by replacing with static -content-; (b) inherently things like meeting details are dynamic, but that is the nature of the beast, and <x> amount of effort is required to maintain such content, regardless of the technology used.

So I'll ask: What deficiencies have been identified by others that must be addressed, and what is the minimum needed to accommodate such, within the current framework, or even not at all? Status quo appears to be satisfactory. Not withstanding unqualified and unquantified security and/or new version risks, to date providing no real impetus to do anything at all.

So, does it need to change at all? And who will step up to doing and maintaining such changes.

I am certainly not a sufficient web ecosystem expert nor a significant user of such things as social media to know what specific technology should be used, but the question is not merely one of drupal or static.
