<b​asses:matrix.org> Yeah, as long as the website does work without JS, all good

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I would also like to add that [insert argument in favor Astro] and also that [insert argument against Jekyll]. [insert misplaced joke]

<r​brunner7:monero.social> My opinion about the website: I vote for a full rebuild based on mostly psychological arguments.

<r​brunner7:monero.social> If we take the current content and structure as a set starting point and merely improve and modify I see a clear danger of "anchoring effects": Being so impressed by what is there now that we are unable to clearly see that some things are not appropriate anymore, or maybe never were. Or, always having a certain unconscious reluctance to change things out of "respect" for the existing.

<r​brunner7:monero.social> And a second such psychological argument, a quite pragmatic one: I think we may get more contributions, more engagement, more enthusiasm from more people if we build a new website. It's just a more attractive thing.

<r​brunner7:monero.social> With that, I certainly wouldn't argue to build a new website just for that, but well, if two choices seem roughly equal otherwise, why not go for the option that will probably see more contributions?

<r​brunner7:monero.social> I can also almost hear arguments along the lines: "You put so much effort into this to upgrade to modern technology and modern workflows for the Monero websites, but didn't take the chance to establish a fresh, modern structure of the content at the same time? What a wasted opportunity."

<r​brunner7:monero.social> If we don't make a new website content-wise, but only technology-wise, complacency may set it and we won't get a really new website for years to come ...

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> yeah, if we already make a new one, it should be carefully designed from the ground up

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> and not too much text so we don't have to translate everything into all the languages again 😅

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> language should be simple with short sentences, dense in information, keep fluff to a minimum

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Into there eyes*
