Hi I had 2 problems in the past to update the current apache clerezza site: 1. only reto had write permission => this is fixed (INFRA-3477) 2. the process to update the website was too complicated for me ( I tried to add an archticture documentation: CLEREZZA-334)
IMO having a website with useful information for [potential] users should be the focus right now. Furthermore it should be easy to update for ever committer (also users who are not committers but want to contribute to the content of the website should be able to deliver a patch. But I think we should discuss solutions for the future, which should be clerezza based (as suggested by Henry or it is also possible to use trialox cms components) I have had a quick look into Apache CMS and think this is a way to go. Or storing the website content directly in the svn repository is also solution in the short term for me.
