yes, that's not out of focus ;-)

But that's only one part of the whole picture.

The updated/new extensions website has not be created only it need
maintenance from at least two volunteers or a service provider and a
member of the infra team in the know.

Then there is the content of the current site that had to be migrated to
the new environment. This has to be done manual or scripted. The first
alternative will need at least ten or more volunteers to do the work.

I looked at this github repo but I'm no expert for Django. I got only my
hands a bit dirty in a first steps workshop. But I have no experience in
developing for Django or the administration of that CMS.

I also don't know how fine grained the user administration and the
permissions are.

I'm also not happy to create a dependency from an addon that nobody from
our project could maintain (not had to but could). But that's only my
personal opinion.

But anyway first I want to discuss and draft the structure, features and
data fields that are necessary. Once we have that fixed we could think
about the implementation (and the CMS/product).

I'm open for every volunteer who wants to develop/setup a new extensions
site and maintain it. I've done that for the last three and a half year yet.

Regards,
Andreas
