The initial plan was to go with wordpress as its easy to manage both
content and the underlying system, its extensible and has a lot of
plugins for things like seo, for the main site and as then have a wiki
for any of the collaboration bits that don't necessarily fit upstream,
for the same extensible reasons for wordpress. Feedback welcome.
