I would be keen to help - might help me spend more qulity time with PD.
I have some experience with Zope.
I too lament the need for a central 'official' site...
Cheers, Rua.

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.

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.

We could try to build a test site and tranfer pure-data.org later.
