Hi Jan, The friendly folk at pydotorg-www will doubtless have you editing in no time (that is properly their domain). So I just thought that I would chime in on behalf of webmaster@ to say welcome and thank you for taking the time to reach out and help.
As a former chairman of the PSF I know how little the Foundation would be able to do without the services of thousands of willing volunteers across the world, a community you now join. Though large (the community, not me), I am happy to say it remains a community in which each individual can make a difference. In case you would like to be in touch with some of the people who will read what you write (and they, after all, would be a better judge of what is needed than anyone else) you might like to reach out to the python-community list. It is very sporadic and has been quiet lately, but I imagine a discussion about What People Want to Read might be fruitful. Just a thought. https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-community - and by all means feel free to start roping other people in (carefully)! Another of my interests in journalism, and I understand what a huge difference it could make if Python had a willing band of popularisers. There is a thirst for knowledge about the language that sometimes seems insatiable. My own community efforts have perforce been limited recently due to my elevation to the exalted status of CTO, but I still like to remind everyone I'm still here now and then ;-). Once again, thanks, and welcome to the Python community. regards Steve PS: I notice that the Python Community page makes no mention of the python-community list. https://www.python.org/community/ - it may be an invite-only list, which might require you to become a PSF member (it's free and carries no obligations).
