<p>OK, I have this imported from SVN:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/cactuscode">https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/cactuscode</a></p>
<p>Some of you already have commit rights on it. I'm happy to have
more.</p>
<p>We apparently have a docker image in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/stevenrbrandt/et-websites">https://github.com/stevenrbrandt/et-websites</a> already... and
apparently I made it, though I don't remember doing so. Maybe I'm
older than I think.</p>
<p>What I need is someone to help with the content.<br>
</p>

<p class="">So the question is, what do we do about the
website? We don't have the time, person-power, or
budget to maintain it. At present, the website is full
of things that are horribly out of date and likely
does more harm than good for anyone reading it.</p>

<div>Hi Steve,</div>
<div><br class="">

<div>For time, person power and budget, how would this change
if it were moved to be under the ET website?</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>I don't have a dollar or hour figure, but the svn repo is
maintained by CCT, which sits on a server which has to be
upgraded from time to time and there are svn client server
version issues, etc. Similar issues apply to the webserver. The
machine has to be upgraded from time to time, which includes
going and getting new docs, etc. If we put a webserver on github
and served cactuscode.org out of a docker image like we do for
the ET, that would simplify upgrades and refreshing. It would
also help us to document what the website does and make it
possible to host it elsewhere if that ever becomes necessary or
desirable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My belief is that if we want to keep a cactuscode.org website,
we should all help in updating it and making it worthwhile.</p>

<div>Is the issue related to keeping the content up-to-date,
or infrastructure issues like maintaining a separate
webserver etc?</div>

Mostly, it's keeping the content relevant, but the website updated
and running is a bit of a hassle too.<br>

Right, but there's a lot of content and I don't have the time to
go through it all--I don't think anyone does. I think we need to
ask what the minimum thing is that we want. What are the critical
set of pages?<br>

<p class="">We could make a website that's just a few
well-chosen pages with a similar template to the ETK.</p>

Reducing the amount of administrative duplication is certainly
desirable.<br class="">

<p>It's more than desirable IMHO, it's necessary. Also, in recent
months we've been working to decentralize administration and
make sure that more than one person knows how to keep various
things running. This is another opportunity to continue that
trend.<br>
