Although I heard Jekyll and Hugo are nice, I'd say:
- Community management hat: I'd love to choose a tool that keeps entry barriers 
low, also for future committers. I know that many marketing people are used to 
WP and I'd definitely love to get more non-coding committers on board and 
reduce dependencies. It's bad for devs if marketing people have to ask for help 
frequently, also regarding lack of focus, and can tend to be frustrating for 
marketing people, too. And the more we can reduce that from the beginning, the 
better for the community.
- Personal hat: happy with anything, but used to WP :)) 
- Marketing hat: whatever makes migration easiest. Plus: WP could be good as 
it's already there, and makes administration etc. easy. Also: tools preferred 
that enable independence.

WP can't be fed with Markdown yet, unfortunately. WYSIWYG-editor-only.

Else: what Jan says :)
