Hi Katerina, thanks for contacting us! There is a lot of new development going on, and a team in India is improving a lot of parts of the system.
At the moment some people are looking into a new card based interface design, see https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/749 There are some other parts that are worked on, for instance the inclusion of fail2ban, that then also needs inclusion into plinth. See https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/issues/760 I personally heard a number of people asking me if there is a way to implement ways to personalize the UI by users, even having the option to use a different colour scheme would make a difference to these users. Also there are a lot of translations, but no Greek translation yet. If you would like to work on that or would like to find someone to help out with that, that would be very appreciated. We translate Plinth on Weblate, https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/freedombox/plinth/ If there is any information or guidance you need on that, I am very willing to help you out. I am not a programmer, but would like to support you in any way I can, and I am sure there will be more responses from other community members willing to get you started. I cannot answer deep infrastructural or Django implementation questions, but am willing to help you get answers or ideas :) As it is always good to scratch your own itch, I would encourage you to run your own freedombox, so you could get a feel for what is needed to improve the user experience, or what software would need to be added. If you have any issues with getting the box running, I am willing to answer your questions on that, and even provide you with some stickers to get your hardware in style :P Maybe you could even provide us with information on what it would take to get your community to adopt Freedombox, and how we could help make that happen. I hope this answers your initial questions, and hope you will feel welcome in our small but growing community. We also communicate on IRC, and would like to invite you to join us there for more direct contact, it is the #freedombox channel on Freenode. If you need help getting there just mail, if not you can find me there with the nick "ikmaak". Thanks for your interest in Freedombox, we appreciate it, and hope we can work together!
