TimesOpen is an engineer-driven blog. Its previous incarnation was self-hosted on a WordPress stack (separate from our main CMS), but for various reasons it was decided to re-platform.

There were many discussions before settling on Medium and alternatives were considered (such as dogfooding our own CMS). We have a lot of work in-flight to modernize and simplify our publishing stack, and the timing wasn't right to rely on internal tools to publish a new blog.

How widely is WordPress being used at NYT today? Seems like it was used a lot about five years ago but don’t see it much anymore.

Could you thank the folks involved in this? The TOS is great news.
