<div dir="ltr">I think we (this list, the KLI, etc.) are capable of debating details until the end of the world, so I think we should get something functional up ASAP and then debate the particulars of a more permanent style choice.  I do think our ASAP option should be a platform which is capable of our more long-term ambitions, or is compatible with things that are.</div>

Content management</div><div><br></div><div>Two frameworks/platforms have been bandied about in this discussion: Bootstrap and WordPress. Bootstrap is more about look and feel, while WordPress is a CMS. I haven&#39;t used WordPress much, but it has a reputation for both its flexibility and ease of use. Perhaps the solution is to use Bootstrap to design an interface to access content on a WordPress install. Though we&#39;d need different back-ends for the wiki, e-mail archive, etc.</div>
