Hi,
+1 for a statically generated website (e.g., hugo, zola, pelican, ... -=20
after all, that's also the way the wiki works with ikiwiki).
The PHP elements were in there to support:
* collecting/aggregating blog entries - not sure if that is relevant
anymore these days
* powering the download list, automatically adding new binaries as
soon as they are available - can also be done statically
I'd also vote to include a DE version.
If needed, I can also help.
Happy holidays and best regards,
Thomas

I propose a bilingual (EN, IT) website powered by HTML5, SVG and
CSS 3 as a solid, reliable base to build upon.<br>
It will have better caching, higher reliability under load and
smaller attack surface.<br>

It would be nice to have the webpages served by a standard
webserver like Apache or nginx.<br>
We'll start with static publishing and then add only the minimal
necessary scripts and cron jobs bit by bit.<br>
I'll recreate the same server environment on my computers (I use
LAN domains for testing before pushing remotely).<br>
<br>

You're welcome.=F0=9F=99=82<br>
<br>
Let me know if your team is ok with having a new collaborator and
eventually their names/roles/... for effective communication.<br>
If yes don't forget to send the credentials and the instructions
on how to push safely, all via PGP-encrypted email at this
address.<br>
<br>
If I start working on it this weekend, you'll have the first draft
before New Year's Eve and a production release within the end of
January.<br>
