CMS has staging, no? And perhaps the site is tiny because there is no easy editing: chicken and egg. IMHO, this new site has great graphics, but it really requires more than graphics.

IIUC, the online editing just updates https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/site/json/projects/ ? Then editing these files is the way to track changes, or do what the online editing doesn't have any feature to do? > > > - what should we do with DOAP?
