I'm curious to know why this is a requirement for python.org? I mean, edit contention is an area one has to deal with even if editing with a network connection, so there isn't an enormous technical burden associated with offline editing, but this does require more effort.
- jnoller 14y agoMany site contributors prefer offline editing - such as checking out a repo and performing the work, then submitting to online editing. Additionally, the workflow of certain sub sites, such as the jobs board require a fair amount of offline vetting prior to content going live. Essentially, we have to serve two styles of workflow - we have both types of people wanting to contribute content today, and we are attempting to fulfill their workflow needs. A 100% online CMS does not do that.
