- Avalon:
  - Happy with the current sitemap
  - Wanted to do a refresh for a long time
  - Baked into Drupal structure
  - Works but isn’t fun to interact with
  - Would like to get off Drupal - they’re running a separate instance just for the site
  - Haven’t done any evaluation of new options
- Thoughts:
  - “Blog” is outdated and no one is really using it that way; maybe “News” or “Press Releases”
  - Would rather use “Blog” real estate to point people to Slack, Community, GitHub, User Roundtable
- Site options:
  - Current Samvera.org is in a Next.js site that serves a static version of the site
    - Required loading a bunch of markdown files
    - Contentful for Headless CMS
  - One idea (big picture) come up with a general template for the Solutions Apps - come up with a skeleton structure, that reuses the same Samvera pieces allowing code reuse
    - Could set things up in Contentful Headless CMS
  - Does Atlassian have an API to pull content from Confluence?
    - This means updating the Wiki updates the Website
    - We’d have to find a solution for that
- Start with Site Architecture
  - Then figure out technical, tools, platform
  - Find some sites that we could use as a template
  - Sketch out wireframes
- Avalon (Emily and Jon) would like to participate in

ETC:

Google searches for things in Samvera Wiki pull Emily into the Avalon site, not Confluence
