We will need to migrate the website to drupal 8 in 2021 when Drupal 7 is end of life (or before when the Drupal 7 plugins we depend aren't supported anymore).

Drupal 8 contains a completely new theme engine so we will need to create a new theme and we will need to convert the Drupal 7 content to Drupal 8. Drupal 8 provides limited import functionality for Drupal 7 content.

I think we have three ways to go forward:

  1. Creating a Drupal 8 theme and converting the content to Drupal 8
  2. Finishing the new Drupal 7 theme and wait for 2021 to think about the migration to Drupal 8
  3. Migrating the Akademy website to another system either a static site generator (Hugo or Jekyll) or another CMS if (Wordpress)

Choice 1 or 2 require somebody with experience with Drupal. I tried to do 1 but Drupal development is a topic where I lack knowledge. I suppose 2 would make more sense since we don't want to do the work two times

Choice 3 is an alternative that could be envisaged. But only if we don't have as a requirement for the website, that the peoples editing it don't need to know git or gitlab web editor.
