As an author, I want to be able to submit new content and content edits to the website for review and publication without going through the git workflow

What are you submitting?

Place an x in the appropriate bracket:

• Bug (something's broken)
• Feature request or improvement
• Content update
• Question
• Other

Description

Making quick updates to site content requires being comfortable with the git workflow, which isn't always the case for writers and or non-technical folks who might otherwise be able to contribute.

Potential solution

Last year, Rob D started looking into a potential CMS option. It may live on a stale branch.

There are a ton of options listed at jamstack.org/

Some interesting candidates include:

• https://jekyll.github.io/jekyll-admin/
• https://craftcms.com/

Requirements

• Open source
• Fairly hands-off maintenance requirements once installed
• Intuitive GUI for non-technical folks
• Some diet sort of submit-and-review process available (may require roles and permissions)
• Plays nice with jekyll (bonus if it works with other static site generators in case we ever move from jekyll)

Thank you!
