Hi Panos,
I'm the author of the current website design and one of its maintainers.
No need to say that your mockup rocks! :-)
When I wrote the current pygtk website I try use mod_python (or any
other similar approach) to allow more dynamism to the website and I
faced to gnome.org rules for websites and scripting. They are pretty
simple: no scripting allowed :-)
That's why I wrote stp.py[1]. We may not have a lot of dynamism in pygtk
but we try to make the website easy to maintain. Stp.py is used to
pregenerate the website from a set of files.
Having said that I wish you lots of luck in the task of convincing
gnome.org maintainers to bend their policies a little bit. Come one! we
are on the XXI century!!
Keep up the good work
Lorenzo

Last time I heard, they didn't allow CGI scripting in the web server

Is it possible for you to checkout the gnome cvs module pygtk-web and
hack on it, maintaining the existing structure as much as possible?
Yeah Gustavo, I can, although after browsing it a bit online its kinda
stale/non-untuitive.
It would be great to have a more interactive site, where it would be
easier to update the different parts of it without having to hack on
the templates etc. Plus using django as a backend we can make lots of
cool stuff, and django kinda becoming a standard in the web these
days, so its really easy to hack and maintain it.
Even so, if we don't have any other alternative, I'll do what I can
with the current structure, but I'd like to be able to do a real live
website.
