Currently we are maintaining the data in svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/med/trunk/debian-med/tasks It is accesible to people who are member of the Debian Pure Blends project: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/blends/ The threshold to become a member of this project is quite low, but I do not think that "everybody can edit" like in a Wiki is a good idea. > Ok, I see your point.

For the moment I see only a chance o export all these data from Debian to you in whatever format you like. I have no idea whether other distros can commit similar data. > For maintaining not yet packaged software and highlighting interesting > projects to be packaged next, should I send an info just to this list in case > I stumble upon some interesting stuff? Well, for the moment - as long as we have no better solution, a mail to the Debian Med list would be sufficient and I will move it to SVN. > Ok, so I hope that I can improve my list some day and evolve it from a static > flat list to a dynamically generated list ... does anyone have a suggestion > of some kind of useful CMS for especially this purpose?

I'm creating the tasks pages by a python script using genshi templates. If you have a look at http://screenshots.debian.net/ it is created using Pylons - perhaps you like this?
