OK, here is a draft for the general page about the Hackfest:
https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest/?edit
(Note that you must be connected to see it.)

I barely wrote anything actually; mostly removed what was specific to
this year and moved the sentences for something more generic. I only
added two sentences with a list in the middle.

Is it enough? I edited the French page symmetrically.
