Hi,
What techniques will be used for that? rewrite in python!!! is very

Exactly. This is something to discuss and a GSoC project. The website
itself should be driven using Python and the person in charge should
have some good knowledge about the personally prefered backend system
(which could be probably anything, ranging from MoinMoin over to Zope,
Django, Typo3 or whatever - just to name a few).

The GSoC ideas page [0] is a bit more specific about what would be nice
to have.

Hi,
I vote for Django :)

But I think thats a matter of arguments and personal interests/
knowledge.

My opinion:
  I would really like to participate in the rewrite, but I only know
Django and a little MoinMoin (standard installation).

Now some arguments (quotes from http://pygame.org/wiki/gsoc2009ideas):

-Don't write an own wiki, there are enough out there. MoinMoin would
be a good sort, but only as wiki.

 feed(rss, atom) for wiki recent changes.
MoinMoin supports rss (/atom?)

 Menu to use alternating background colours - to make it easier to read.
Should be a very simple and small js hack (backend-independent)

 Optional email notification on project change, including release and 
 comment. A per user, per project option.
Django task

 Nicer urls for projects. eg projects/512/zanthor/
Django task (very easy)

 detect tabs in code blocks, and convert to spaces. Either ask to convert to 4 
 or 8 spaces, or do some magic to figure out how many spaces.
Python task (backend independent)

 Browsing projects in more ways. By ranking, by date.
Django task (easy)

 Spotlight projects changeable from management area.
Django task

 Fix website for looking ok in 800x600 resolution - the header does not scale 
 down well.
html/css/template task (mostly backend independent)

Combination of Django and MoinMoin is not trivial and will need some
time/reading/testing,  maybe starting with 
http://moinmo.in/HelpOnAuthentication/ExternalCookie.
If it meets the requirements, http://github.com/sneeu/django-wiki/tree/master
could be an alternative.

Conclusion:
  In my opinion, the pygame.org rewrite could be done with Django and
an integrated (MoinMoin-)wiki.
