I was under the impression that the question you asked was still open and
neither option has been chosen yet.

Personally I've recommended that everything be hosted on the KLI site,
using some kind of central CMS (like WordPress). That would allow us to
manage most of the content, with some large pieces requiring their own
software (KLI Wiki, KLI Mailing list). CSS/HTML would be needed to develop
a theme for the CMS, but those styles can be easily be carried over to a
KLI Wiki sub-site or KLI Mailing List software (if it doesn't have a plugin
that works with the CMS package). There may be parts of the site that have
to be developed from scratch, and it's for those parts that a style guide
would be useful.
