Currently we use moinmoin -- the versioning support is useful and it means we have commonality between the main site and the wiki. However, MoinMoin has some major deficiencies and we have been planning to move to wordpress for a while. > If you are going the wordpress way, there are a *lot* of free themes > around (http://wordpress-plugins.feifei.us/10/wordpress-themes-are-gpl-code/), > so it may be worth picking one and asking for OKFN specific tweaks - > this will save a lot of the basic stuff and free time for the logos > and widgets. Yes we'd probably want to mod an existing theme. I would emphasize that we probably do want a fairly custom look-and-feel to distinguish ourselves (I don't know what people think of our current "box yellow" theme but it might make sense to stick reasonably close to this for continuity). > Decent widgets to put in a wordpress theme would be great.

That's a very good point. > Another thing that is useful for wordpress is someone who can produce > page specific templates (eg front page, project page). Yes that is more what I'm thinking we'll need help with.
