I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but our new website is based on 
SilverStripe (an easy to be used CMS): http://www.libreoffice.org

Once our website is in a final state, we'll be able to discuss any 
further improvement. This might be Drupal, but at the moment there are 
other tasks, that are much more urgent than such a discussion.

At the moment our website team is forming - do you want to join?

This would be great.

Please subscribe to the website mailing list (by sending a mail to 
website+subscribe@libreoffice.org and reply to the automated mail you 
get) and introduce you there, if you want to.

At the moment the Drupal staging site is not worked on, so I'd propose 
to add your findings to the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal/Feedback

I don't know if this Drupal solution will be more than a working draft, 
but this would allow to come back to them, when the work on the 
LibreOffice website has reached a final state and our discussions on the 
long-term solution came to a conclusion.

Please don't discuss any Drupal ideas at the moment, because they led to 
long and unproductive discussions in the past and we need to focus on 
the release now. If you follow the website list, you will find out, when 
we'll have the time to develop our goals and aims for the long-term 
website solution that will fit the needs of the entire community.

Best regards

Bernhard
