Yes, this workflow will suffice.
I'll always ask for your review before publishing anything to production.

Let's start by getting monotone.ca in line with GDPR, EAA, ..., creating so=
lid legal ground for world-wide software distribution.
We'll work on SEO and on funnelling more visitors into actually downloading=
 and using Monotone, reducing the bounce rate.

I propose a bilingual (EN, IT) website powered by HTML5, SVG and CSS 3 as a=
 solid, reliable base to build upon.
It will have better caching, higher reliability under load and smaller atta=
ck surface.

It would be nice to have the webpages served by a standard webserver like A=
pache or nginx.
We'll start with static publishing and then add only the minimal necessary =
scripts and cron jobs bit by bit.
I'll recreate the same server environment on my computers (I use LAN domain=
s for testing before pushing remotely).

You're welcome.=F0=9F=99=82

Let me know if your team is ok with having a new collaborator and eventuall=
y their names/roles/... for effective communication.
If yes don't forget to send the credentials and the instructions on how to =
push safely, all via PGP-encrypted email at this address.

If I start working on it this weekend, you'll have the first draft before N=
ew Year's Eve and a production release within the end of January.

Merry Xmas,=F0=9F=8E=84
