Thanks for the offer! I discussed your proposal with some Debian developers. We came to the conclusion, that Wordpress is not the right tool for this task. This has many reasons, one is, that Wordpress had some security related bugs in the past and that www.debian.org is too critical to be exposed to these potential security holes. Also www.debian.org is a high traffic website with limited hardware resources and through dynamically generating static content the whole situation gets even worse, especially when one uses a language that is not known to be very fast. Another reason is, that Debian developers want to manage www.debian.org in a version control system like git or subversion and without the need to use a webbrowser (some of those sick guys and girls even prefer using decade old tools like vi and a shell). > I appreciate the open source community and I thought that this would > be a good way to give back. http://www.us.debian.org/intro/help is a good starting point if you want to contribute to Debian. Depending on your knowledge the translation project or writing documentation may be a good way to begin contributing. Maybe even helping other users or packaging software if you a really experienced in Debian. Your help would be much appreciated.
