KDE.org/New Site

We need to get things done.

There were discussions about what to use. At the end, 3 solutions where retained:

Type	Getting things done	Maintainability	Custom themes	Localization
Wordpress	Very fast for basic stuff, more difficult for specific needs	Very good if we don't need to develop new plugins	Not sure if possible to have several presentations of posts	Seems to be possible with extra plugins (POT?)
Drupal	A little more difficult for basic stuff but constant learning curve	Very good if we don't need to develop new plugins, a lot can be done through web interface, configuration can be exported/imported as xml	A theme should be written from scratch / expended. Almost everything possible	Feature present in core. POT files should be exportable with plugins
Custom solution	Very specific, unexpected issues can appear because of corner cases	With a good framework (Django, Sf2, Laravel), there are coding rules so it should not go everywhere but still need to maintain that. What about in 5 years?	Everything possible, should be written.	Whatever we want

Conclusion:

Wordpress seems too simplistic for what we need.
Drupal will need a custom theme and certainly some extra modules (specially for the applications page + announcements) but the tests are very promising.
I (ochurlaud) am afraid that we create a monster like Capacity again and that it's not maintainable on the long run. Also it means that we need to maintain it for security holes etc...

We (Lydia, Olivier and Ken) decided to go with Drupal. The choice is supported by (some) other members.

We want to release something as early as possible, even if not finished.

What is mandatory: Announcements + Theme + Plain pages (what is KDE...)

The Applications things can be worked on later, after release.

The theme will be based on the current neon.kde.org. It looks modern and has good feedback.

If Ingo and Minh could begin to see how to port the neon theme to Neverland? + Ken should start a repo with his work on the theme.

Repos for themes:

Applications: Grid with applications, on click, show details; Idea: use e-commerce plugin and remove prices (can we subclass a plugin?)

Announcements: Based on a normal blog post, however we need to link this somehow to the git repos/scripts

The theme must be usable (in term of style and colors) by all the KDE websites and represent its identity.

Access: Need a ldap/phabricator connection [done]; Need to know who is allowed to do what [reflection to continue with sysadmin]
