Hi Timo, Thank you for your offer.
I agree with you the project's website is showing its age and can use some love. I'm maintaining a wordpress site in another context myself. From that experience, I don't lean towards wordpress any more though. For our needs I'd rather have a revamped site implemented using a static website generator. So far I only have experimented with Hugo as example, but I know there are more. In my experience a CMS like wordpress brings quite a bit of additional maintenance. It's a huge code base of which we'd only use a small part, but which leave much room for uncaught bugs. That is however just my 2 cents as a currently inactive gnucash dev. I'd be interested to hear what the others think of this.
