Hi,
A little update on this subject.
I started playing with Static Site Generators yesterday (Pelican
mostly). Although I am happy with results, in the end I still think that
the switch is not worth it because we may need some dynamic features,
like search, comments, forms, etc. in the future.
I read an interesting (although a bit chaotic) article about this subject:
http://screamingatmyscreen.com/2013/8/the-joy-and-pain-of-using-a-static-site-generator-for-private-and-client-work/
To make our work with Wordpress a little more pleasant I have installed
a Markdown plugin. It works out of the box, we must just avoid Visual
Editor. Syntax documentation can be found here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/markdown-quick-reference/
There are some extended features to embed images, add styles etc.:

Thanks.

Oh, hi Aaron, didn't know you are on the list.
I agree, I am no fan of disqus either. There are FOSS solutions
available, but to me it seems like a hassle to set-up.
About migrating comments - well maybe we can just drop them, they are
not critical I guess. I think it would be more useful to have a Forum
section (later).

Hi,
I think LibreFunding should not use systems like Disqus that are the
epitome of proprietary surveillance options. It will be harder for me to
get behind the concept if it has that stuff connected.
Best,
Aaron

Hi Jarek,
I would prefer using a static site generator, because it makes it
easy
to open the project to anyone who wants to commit changes. It is
also
easier to handle translations.
Adding comments to static websites with tools like disqus.com
<http://disqus.com> is easy
enough -- e.g. that's what I do right now for my own website.
I don't mind starting with what we have and change later on. We just
need to be careful about comments: we should not advertize the
website
until we decide what system we use, otherwise migrating comments will
be to much of a hassle.

Agreed, the decision about this should not block anything for now.
Thanks for putting the first interview online!
