(a) I have no idea about such site generators.

I was thinking about something like Jekyll, which is used by GitHub for project blogs etc. It's basically a template and text transformation engine, you write templates for your site and content (posts, docs, ...) in e.g. Markdown. The generator then compiles static HTML files for you to upload.

(b) I *hate* working with HTML :-) On the other hand, I have updated
     and maintained the freetype.org web site, so I know what's going
     on...

Content would stay as is (in e.g. Markdown form) unless me modify it, the goal is just to make maintenance easier.

(c) Are you going to implement a new site (CSS, etc.) while converting
     the old data into the new format?

I'd take the current design.

(d) Are you going to maintain a new site, probably together with
     Alexei?  I would be happy if I only had to control everything...

Since this is more of an internal restructuring of the current site, we can all maintain it. But if you want to focus on FT code, sure, I could step up :) But first I'd have to do the ground work ;)

(e) Would it be possible to use the current freetype-web git
     repository to store new files?

Sure, that's the goal :)
