Had a really nice discussion tonight about this with Stefanie and Chris that sparked some thoughts.
It would be awesome if we could use GitHub's features for collaboration, since it is strongly connected with open source. And it will simplify the project compared to hosting one central CMS server that everything depends on and we need to maintain.
Since we most likely only need content that can be deployed statically, using GitHub and a solution like Netlify CMS would make more sense.
Let's explore this more.
After evaluation and reflection, it's clear that some of the problems we've faced with Keystone are not worth solving for us right now. Keystone is an amazing technology, with a nice DX and UX for editors. But it's primarily built for teams where you have a given set of members and contributors.
Netlify CMS is combined with git and GitHub is much more aligned with the spirit and the practices of successful open source communities. This asynchronous and decentralized approach will help us scale the co-creation beyond a small core team, which is ultimately what we want. It brings too many collaboration benefits that this is hard to ignore.
@Muthaias @paccao I've re-evaluated the CMS solution and found another way forward. See the motivations above.
Let me know what you think! :)
Co-creator flexibility is a top prio to make this possible to scale.
