Hello Platonides,

Thank you for replying, The reason we use Wordpress is that this is the solution that was recommended by the experts with whom we consulted. While the tutorial is largely static, we wanted to have the option of a CMS to update content, add topics or exercises, and even to be able to add the tutorial in additional languages. I wonder if you could elaborate more about "a process that statified its content before publishing on toolforge"? Bear in mind I don't have any technical/IT background.

Best,

Keren

Hello Keren

Keeping the code of a Wordpress site up-to-date is not generally hard. However, in this case, and even more relevant given your query, I must ask: why use wordpress? This seems a static set of pages, so it could be stored as .html pages without the overhead of running wordpress... or the security issues that might happen if that was abused. No code = no security issues.* This could be developed as html pages (you are probably using raw html markup already), or if you fancy preparing that in wordpress, you could have a wordpress for editing the tutorial, and then have a process that statified its content before publishing on toolforge.

Best regards

* Or almost. I'm glossing over potential vulnerabilities on the web server, or vulnerable javascript that didn't properly sanitize input. But removing the web application means the system hundreds of times safer.
