Good thing is that you don't need my support: the www.eclipse.org/eclipse website belongs to the Eclipse Top Level Project and that needs PMC approval. Although I understand the frustration of things being slown down by my critical mind, I think the fact that you spent time on it doesn't suffice to make it a project decision. All that seems still quite experimental to me (experimental in the sense of "towards better outcome" nor as "bad") and I'm yet to see some insurance that the important content (eg some acknowledgements, plans and so on) are properly preserved with 1. the move of the repo to GitHub and 2. usage of Hugo. So far, I didn't see anything that audits which documents are to move and which ones aren't, nor some plan regarding necessary documents that are made of HTML (and maybe even PHP) would move to Hugo. Does that mean someone will have to translate all that from HTML to markdown? So what about existing documents on https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/eclipse.git/tree/ ? Have you discussed with PMC which ones can be discarded and which ones need to remain? And what would be the strategy for the remaining ones? This concern is what makes me think that a 1st iteration moving the website to GitHub would allow to close a part of the discussion and already deliver some added-value without too much risk; and then the usage of Hugo could be further and more efficiently discussed.
