I recommend Ghost also, my expectation is that once setup, it is the easiest authoring environment one could want, using the simple markdown syntax - in fact, one could simple author without using any formatting at all - to keep things simple. ghost.org should have all the information you need. It is open source software with the source code available on github, and it is licensed under the MIT License See: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/LICENSE To minimize monetary costs, there is a self-hosting guide here: https://docs.ghost.org/v1.0.0/docs/getting-started-guide If you have time before your event, you could likely host all the ghost blogs for all participants on a small computer (laptop) or raspberry pi (please check the licenses for the OS on these machines to be sure they meet your needs). You might also consider getting the participants started quickly at your event by using the Ghost Desktop app - which could enable them to begin writing at the event, and post to the public internet afterwards - the desktop app is also MIT licensed. See: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Desktop Further, Ghost is a very open-source friendly not for profit group of folks that would likely be very happy and responsive to a direct contact from you to get their input on how to best organize your efforts with Ghost for your event and follow-on goals. If you decide to contact ghost, would you please post a brief summary of their response on the list? Very interested to know if my expectations are rational.
