We already have all the infrastructure and code we need. If you can accept that a 'microsite' is a folder (zope.org/projects/zope2 or /zodb or /whatever), then we already have skeletal microsites for Zope 2, Zope 3 or whatever else. If you'd rather have zope2.zope.org, then that'd be a matter of VHM configuration. The new.zope.org initiative died because no-one could write any content. Even then 5-10 pages of content requires for a very basic microsite was too much, and several separate calls for volunteers produced almost no actual content, even if several people showed an interest. I'm also +1 on a microsite. History suggests that Zope wikis bitrot very quickly. Another observation: the thing that most people seem to want to make a site about was the ZODB. We nearly had enough content for a ZODB microsite thanks to Christian Theune and a few others. Oh... and If the Plone site approach is too much overhead to set up (again?), then Sphinx would be another option. It seems we have a few people who may be willing to maintain a Sphinx based static site, in which case, all the better.
