Re: Proposal for a new CMS

[Jim Hodapp <james hodapp gmail com>]

I think it's a great idea too! We'd have to convert all of the  
articles written using textile over to Wordpress' format. Also, we  
could consider Drupal (and in my current job have become somewhat of  
an expert with it), but that then denies the convenience of the GNOME  
servers already maintaining Wordpress.
