If the blog doesn't need comments, I could very easily throw together a site using Hakyll <https://www.jaspervdj.be/hakyll/>, and post it somewhere. Advantages: * Content is managed and deployed using git. * It's Haskell, so any of our devs can tweak the site generation. * The Hakyll site can easily generate static content, including RSS/Atom feeds, uniform styling, etc. * Static sites are easy to maintain and deploy * Can be hosted cheaply, and independently from the main Snowdrift server. (I can do site administration if need be). Disadvantages: * Can't handle form input, which would include comments or maybe surveys. -- Peter Harpending
