I think we should definitely plan on some sort of blog feature, since
we'll probably want a place to post updates as various part of the
project progress.

I would vote for something of the "drop a markdown file into the correct
folder" variety.

I don't think we have a strong set of requirements at this point.
Speaking almost exclusively for myself, because I haven't had the
chance to touch base with anyone on this topic, I would prefer that:

- The website lives alongside any other repositories we're
  maintaining.
- Changes to the website going through a CI and review process.
- The website can be rendered using open source tooling through a CI
  pipeline associated with the repository.

I don't know what sort of workflow you folks have around the site
right but, but if it's not terribly complicated it would be great to
move the site sources over to 
https://gitlab.com/open-infrastructure-labs/openinfralabs-website,
since this is where we'll be hosting other things.

Hopefully Michael at least can chime in on this to confirm that I have
not making things up.
