Staff-Projects/2019-Website-Launch

= Overview =

Before June 7, the Foundation will launch a new website designed to engage visitors and professionally convey the value of our collective work. Rather than just reskinning our current wiki or placing a simplified landing page in front of our site, we plan to migrate to an entirely new platform. Website 2.0 must better connect with our developer audience and be valuable when visited on a variety of devices. It must be possible for elements of our site to be managed by our communities or through automation and any platform change must retain these attributes as well as ensuring continuity of analytics, permissions design, and redirect of inbound links. A proof of concept will be complete by April 1. Once Website 2.0 is launched, the wiki will be maintained through 2020 for historical purposes.
