When resources are indeed limited, the right thing will be to move away from this platform.

Limited resources is one of the issues that prevents changing to a different platform. Regardless of which platform Whonix uses some/many of the same problems will be encountered. Not only that but moving to an new platform will bring new problem.

It might sound good but its not that easy. Plus there might not be any interest by Whonix developers atm.

Hi kasuvus

If we made the decision to do this would you be willing help with the transition? Meaning, we are low on human resources and we would need to find someone that:

1. Would stick around for a while so we could get to know you
2. Could find and test a suitable platform and would conduct all the required testing.
3. Has the required knowledge to move all fourm data to the new platform. Must not break anything such as forum links etc
4. Would assist our current sysadmin with bug reports, patches etc…
5. Would be willing to do this free of charge.
6. Likely other things as brought up by lead developer, sysadmin.

Due to the structure of Libre Software development and the limited funding available to Whonix it is economically infeasible to tackle most issues (usability, privacy, security) of these webapps.
