Out of the box, CiviCRM provides most of what we'll need as far as membership/subscription management goes. Some small JS is required to fix up the subscription form.
Nicholas has built out a number of sites for Aegir:
- http://aegirhostingsystem.com/
- http://aegirsummit.org/
- http://aegircamp.org/ (registered, but no site yet)
- http://aegircloud.com/
http://aegirhostingsystem.com/ in particular should probably replace our current site. Ideally everyone could take some time to review the site.
