If you have a problem with the website, please feel free to file an issue on the Github repo. If there is an immediate technical problem (e.g. a webpage is missing) or some information is wrong (e.g. alumni status) please email Lawrence Dunn (dunnla@seas.upenn.edu).
Depending on the nature of the issue, you may also want to email the editor or any combination of the primary contacts listed above.
If you have a broader issue and feel a Github issue is too narrow, you may prefer to start a conversation on the Slack channel.
A good place to start would be the PL Club Slack #website channel. Contributions and suggestions welcome!

The PL club had a website that was launched some time around 2005. The build system was OMake and some parts of the site used Java. Overall the old repo was fairly eclectic and its age was showing in several places, both design-wise and code-wise. Around mid-November in 2019 a conversation started about updating the website. The Slack #website channel was created on November 14, 2019 with the description:
20 cent bounty to convert website into Hakyll while preserving style.
The new website was launched on January 15th 2020.
Around April 27th some people in the department got serious about starting a PL Club blog. The topic was discussed at the April 1st PL Club meeting (conducted over video chat, given the pandemic), where it was decided to appoint a designated editor rotating perhaps once or twice annually, and the first editor was elected.
