Sorry about this being mistrusting and bureaucratic; but on the other hand
this is sometimes useful to ensure that resources and energy is optimized
and that value/risk ratio is good. At the moment, I don't understand what's
risl-free here: what would be the minimum viable product, what are the
iterations towards that, how can others be involved, how can we ship
incrementally, when can we assume this transition is done, how long would
that take...? All that are things to take into account in risk assessment
and I didn't see anything on that matter.
Maybe all that is clear to you, but so far, I don't think you made all this
explicit, so yes, it's hard for me to trust someone on a long term goal
without them going into some details of how this is going to be
implemented. So please propose a concrete plan taking into account the
legacy of the current website and some milestones we can deploy
incrementally.
To me, instead of something being incubated in yet-another-platform-repo
for some time, with the risk of going into trash when no one is willing to
complete the work (and the definition of "complete work" is yet unknown
here); it's better to roll out a plan that happens against an official
Platform repo that we all agree is the reference.

Have you looked at the "plan" on the website in the past 4 years?

I'm more thinking about docs like
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_20.xml
or https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/acknowledgements_4.19.php
that currently seem important. Maybe more; PMC is to say.
I agree many documents can probably be discarded, and a cleanup would help
in migrating to a new website without too much effort IMO. I think you can
already submit Gerrit patches suggesting to drop some documents and get PMC
to agree on removal.
