Difficulties with WAI site

Hi - we didn't have quorum in the ARIA Editors meeting, but I do want to 
update about the WAI site. As you may know, the site is built by Jekyll 
which runs on Ruby. There are version-specific dependencies in the code, 
and changes in how the ecosystem resolves versions broke the site. Steve 
was able to figure out how to work around it, but it seems likely this 
sort of issue will become more frequent.

Of immediate interest to the ARIA Editors is that we had to turn off the 
APG build for the site. I'm not sure if it's related to the above issue 
or something else, but something in the APG build broke and then the WAI 
site stopped. We don't know how to fix this quickly and WAI staff are 
focused on finishing a funded project right now, so in the sort term 
will just need to defer updates to the APG for a few weeks.

The positive outcome of this is that the WAI team is now all on board 
with replacing the WAI site with something that can be maintained going 
forward and sees it as an important project for the new year. We will 
begin requirements gathering in January. I expect whatever solution we 
pick will be easier to integrate things like APG than the current one is.
