the right question would be, is such a website is really needed ?
Each time I try to find new information about PD, I click and google the web forever. The pd webring, spider and other url lists are useful, but what's needed now is a unique collaborative portal, where all softwares, externals, documentation and tutorials would be collected, adapted, corrected, standardized, translated...
Anyway: I could figure that pd.org could be a new home for pd.sf.net, with the traditional strong user focus on the main page. I'd be willing to keep help maintain it. I also could provide customized content management code - but only using the Webware Application Server in Python, that my site runs on. I cannot (or better: don't want) write PHP :(
Since you prefer Python to PHP, take a look at the Nuxeo CPS kit for Zope, which is designed to manage collaborative portals: http://www.nuxeo.org/ http://www.cps-project.org/
I'd be willing to help.

but the management of the site has to be done by others, since i have no spare time. i just can provide the infastructure.
With the help of a collaborative portal, the others would be developpers and users. It doesn't have to be nuxeo, but it should be easy to use.

that's why a "central" site with a simple name might help to spread the word.
We could try to build a test site and tranfer pure-data.org later.
