I'm with Diliup here. The pygame site can link to informative sites.
There's nothing to stop someone just going ahead and doing it and others
adding suggestions. Maybe an overwhelmingly superb site mught become the
redirected, official site, but I guess that would depend on general
consensus that it is worth doing. I've made official sites for
organisations before and when the functionality desired doesn't match
the functionality given there are bad feelings all around. It is better
to just go ahead and do it then tell everyone about it, asking for
input. If it suits then everybody will be happy.
I'd say go for it Alex. If you post here about it regularly I'm sure
you'll get lots of cool material for it.
Best wishes,
- Miriam

leave the old pygame site alone and build any amount of new ones. We
will all visit everyone according to our need. Aren't there hundreds
of Python sites?

Personally, When I see this topic come up it's always a sort of
"Here's my idea! and then wait for approval to start?". What can
be done to empower motivated people like Alex to just do it?
These kinds of proposals would be much more successful if Alex
were able to come to the mailing list with a fully functioning
demo using live data that could be commented on and iterated on by
the community.
My suggestion, is that the site maintainers make available some
portion of the live data and resources to anyone who wants to have
a crack at this. I can see that it has already been started to
some degree here: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygameweb

Alex,
My question to you is, why does the Pygame website have to be
built from scratch as a custom solution? What features does it
have that are not provided by existing CMSes like Drupal? Would it
be better to start with a system like that and extend it to meet
the current use cases? Maybe this is a terrible idea, but if it
isn't I bet it could go a long way towards making it easier to
maintain the site and keep it up to date with modern trends.
