Loosing comments and their moderation seems like a big downside to this 
surely if Hugo can't do this we should, if considering moving from drupal, 
look at alternatives that support what we need the dot to do?

I feel the ability to share and work together on an end formated story with 
images/links (in their final place) is a critical feature to have

I'm not convinced how well the proposed workflow would work for 
non-developers. It sounds pretty complicated compared to a cms

While Hugo might work fine for some websites in KDE, I think expecting 
every web thing we use to be able to be done with a minimal tool like Hugo 
is a bit unrealistic and there is no need to even try to do this (your plan 
is also unlikely to succeed completly imho, so we will still have different 
types of websites anyway)

So I think that if we are thinking about moving the dot from drupal we need 
to have a proper look at what alternatives there are and whether they are 
better than what we have currently
