Not quite acurate. If you click on the link next to "community rights
and fracking" on the home page of www.crnmc.org it will open a new window
and play the very same video as the first one on the Videos tab of
the www.crnofmc.org site.  Either site can have videos. Whether they
play within the same page (embedded) or open another window on the youtube
site is a simple design choice.

Alas it is hardly ever quite as simple as that.

Content is always a work in progress. Neither are complete.

And ease of maintenance. And that's usually more about having someone
willing (and having the time) to do the maintenance.

3 and 4 are often mutually exclusive.

Another factor may be, what additional features/functions do we want
the web site to have. Can both platforms (Weebly? and Joomla) provide
what we want? Can they both easily support multiple people adding content?

Then the question no one has asked so far.
Is it necessary that there only be one site?
They could easily both have links to each other.

If it has to be one, which ever one is fine by me.
