Website upgrade

CookiesHQ have had a conversation with Athur A about building a Ruby on Rails integrated platform
covering website, wiki, membership, payment processing. 
An offer of an internship for a HS member to develop the site & then maintain it.
They would offer a non-commercial rate, but it would be possible to stage deveopment.
Likey total cost would be in the low thousands.
AA Ongoing costs would be minimal, hosting a VPS, stripe payment integration would be per transaction.
TS Other hackspaces have websites, check them and see if we can use their code.
AA create list of requirements to decide priorities.
