Proposal: Move new CHAOSSmonthly Newsletter completely away from Wordpress to GitHub

Pros

Currently the CHAOSSmonthly (weekly) is fully built in Wordpress.

  • There are only a handful of people who have access to the WP Admin backend, so this limits who can work on the newsletter
  • Regardless of who publishes this, it is a very time consuming process currently, so moving it to GitHub would be simpler and more efficient
  • Creating a new page in WP that would display GitHub content would still be a time consuming process and limit who can work on this
  • Hosting it on GitHub would allow more visibility for the newsletter
  • We would still have traffic data for who is reading the newsletter
  • The publishing process would be more transparent and less of a black-box process

Cons

  • Not quite as "pretty" as it is in Wordpress; limited in design

What it would look like

There is a sample template of what it could look like here.

Would love to know what the community thinks!
