The way I see it, we have two basic components to worry about:
 1. Look and feel
 2. Content management

Two frameworks/platforms have been bandied about in this discussion:
Bootstrap and WordPress. Bootstrap is more about look and feel, while
WordPress is a CMS. I haven't used WordPress much, but it has a reputation
for both its flexibility and ease of use. Perhaps the solution is to use
Bootstrap to design an interface to access content on a WordPress install.
Though we'd need different back-ends for the wiki, e-mail archive, etc.

WordPress would also allow volunteers to take responsibility for a
particular portion of the site.

Personally, I think the KLI would look more impressive if it hosted
everything. But I like having the idea of a group of volunteers rather than
a single admin. It looks like we're reaching a workable middle ground.
