thx for the offer to help. I think it's needed :-) I already read about the Apache CMS and svnpubsub and think that the CMS is the way to go although it's initially a little more effort. One of the major benefits of the CMS is that non technical users can use it (the web UI) and it's easier for non comitters to contribute [1].
As soon as I get a go to move forward I'll open a ticket on Jira to track the status of the move. The initial step will be to get myself familiar with the tools to build the site as described in [2]. I propose the migration to reuse the current content and most of the current navigation and optimize at a later stage but making a clearer distinction between users of and developers for pdfbox.
