Either is fine, just somebody has to do it, and apparently Ralph is the one with the access rights to do it. Ralph, if you need any assistance or further information for this, I am happy to help.

We do, actually, see

  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web

and more specifically

  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web%20and%20developer%20web%20platform

Moreover, there is also PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and Tcl.

Sure. This is a relatively simple website, and I'd prefer to follow the KISS principle there.

Supposing we do go with static website generator: Do you have a preference for a language that generator should be written in? In the sense that it should ideally be something you are ideally familiar. The primary choices are Python and Ruby, but Perl and (to a much lesser extent) shell script are also options.


Cheers,
