I don't think so (we are supposed to re-write/de-clutter the content!);




I agree, I the content on the main website must be simplified dramatically
relative to what we have now, focussing on the needs of those interested in
downloading and using Freenet, and donating to the project.  This is a commonly
used approach for consumer-facing open source software (eg.
https://getfirefox.com/), and I think we should emulate it.
"Deeper" content, more relevant to researchers, or developers, should be
migrated to a separate wiki (perhaps hosted on Github) - although as an interim
measure we can keep the old site around on a different URL.  Of course we will
provide links to it where appropriate from the main site so it is findable.
The perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good.  My inclination is to get the
new site up ASAP, translations and content can catch up (and will be much easier
with a simplified website).  I think with a website that looks really good it
will also be a good motivator for people to contribute to improve it.
From a devops perspective, I think an ideal situation would be to have a limited
number of people that can merge pull-requests for the site (but not so limited
that it proves to be a bottleneck), and then a merge to master results in an
automatic roll-out of the improved site.
