Hi Kristof, I would love to see a new website on openocd.org. The current one looks quite ugly and old.
However, personally I would prefer to have a blog-like website as the current one. It's easier to publish new content. To reduce maintenance (security updates etc.) I would rather use a static website like Nikola [1] than WordPress. We should also update the website to httpS... Any opinions on that?
