There is already a prototype that JBrooks is working on to move the 
website from nanoc to Jekyll, which should be a huge improvement in 
terms of making it easier for other people to contribute. I hope to have 
more detail on this on Friday.

One thing that we would like to do is identify portions of content that 
are in the wiki (optimized for frequently changing content) that should 
instead be on the main website (optimized for more static content).

We also need help with consistent cross-site themeing.

We have several websites, each of which has its own unique visual identity:

www.centos.org
wiki.centos.org
centos.org/forums
blog.centos.org

Additionally, we have our various social media presences, which each 
have their own theme.

It would be great to have a unified theme across all of these sites, 
which ties them together, as well as more consistent navigation so that 
getting between sites isn't so challenging.
