2) Content editors are usually keen to put stuff they wrote online immediatly and not have to wait for an admin to hit the publish button. Would that be possible? Like: "give editor A the permission to edit and publish stuff in category B or specifically on page C”?
Who are we talking about? I'm not sure this has been clearly identified yet.
3) Although I haven’t done any research on that topic lately I suppose there are CMS that allow to publish static sites, provide interfaces for finegrained access control, configurable wysiwyg editors etc. What’s the benefit of using Jekyll and Git? Robustness? Less administration and strain on the server (no DB)? Familiarity of tools? My apologies if this has already been discussed!
The Tor website needs to be easily reproduced on as many different mirrors as possible. Using a website generator that creates static content is the easiest way to create a website that can be easily synchronized on multiple servers. For the Tor website, I don't really see what could require content that needs to be generated on the fly. -- Lunar <lunar@torproject.org>
