I'm a huge fan of WordPress, so no objection here. I just wouldn't want to throw away any significant effort that has been put into Drupal features since I know how much work that is.

With whatever we use - we need to decommission the old systems entirely so we can reclaim the resources.

Was just chatting with nirik on IRC about the feasibility of WordPress. He says it was not a joy to maintain last time we tried it. But if that's the preferred option, letting Wordpress.com host it and map to Insight costs a whopping $13/year, which I imagine we could find in the budget. It also massively simplifies user management, IMO, as a current editor of both WP and Drupal sites.

$13 only gets you a domain. I would imagine that we would also want to use our own theme, and remove the ads and that would cost another $60.
You also have to take into account that it would not be able to authenticate with FAS. So giving people permission to post would have to be done by their wordpress user name, and would require someone to verify they are the person who they say they are.

You can use the fedora openid to comment there?
Or does it not handle openid?

Also for $73/year I think we could not pay for the time it will take for someone from fedora infra to maintain it and patch it.
hell, if it keeps me from having to mess with it - I'll cough up $75/yr :)

I am defiantly not trying to say we should not do this, but we need to be sure that using hosted wordpress is not going to limit its usefulness.
Along the lines of pricing it may be a smarter idea to just pay $99 a year for the Pro Plan if we go this route and get all the extras.
