Reorg & reboot the website

[vmbrasseur]

The existing live agstack.org website hasn't been updated in quite a while. This is a problem. It makes the project look dead, which it isn't.

Thankfully, Mikela started a new jekyll site here based on the existing live WordPress site. We'll be able to build on that to develop a new site that the community can drive on its own by way of the Github repo.

Audiences in order of expected traffic

• Merely curious
• Potential members
• Potential contributors
• Current contributors
• Current members

Initial goals for this work

• Move control of website out of Linux Foundation & into community, removing one step that may be preventing keeping the site up to date
• Make it clear what AgStack does & why
• Make it easy to find membership information
• Make it easy to find contribution/community information
• Make it easy to find governance information

That’s more than enough for this pass on the site. Later the community can iterate on the site as needed.
