The LIR website is evolving from a static HTML format to a dynamic platform, enhancing user interaction with features like RSS feeds, polls, and secure areas for committee documents. The new version will enable easy editing by the LIR committee and support user logins with integration to social platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn. We are exploring various hosting solutions, from traditional to cloud-based CMS options, to ensure optimal performance, security, and user accessibility. This transition aims to provide a modern, interactive experience for all users.
