I've polluted two threads just recently with this, so I'll start a
fresh one before they deviate too much more from their original topics.
(A bit of) background information: currently we use simple PHP scripts for www.inkscape.org, Planet for planet.inkscape.org and MediaWiki for wiki.inkscape.org. Plans have been underway for moving www.inkscape.org and probably wiki.inkscape.org to Drupal (and possibly also merging inkscapeforum.com into it as well). However, with the (renewal?) of discussion of an extensions repository, I suggested Django for the framework to use for it. Then I thought about the migration of www. and wiki. and thought that Django would really be a better solution than Drupal. (Not sure about the forum yet, having looked at it now I think it's probably best kept as it is rather than migrated to anything.)

time though - it's very nice so far.

Sourceforge hosting account - it was not pretty :( In short, it would
be messy (install a local Python along with dependencies for Django,
then run the whole mess through fcgi - and I'm not entirely sure it's
possible after all).
And while I'm rambling on - what about trying Turbogears as a
framework? Sourceforge is moving to it (though I doubt that they will
be using the default cherrypy server). At any rate, I will be playing
around with Django and probably TG this week to prototype the
extension repo. Whether or not the extension repo becomes an addon to
the main site, I'm happy to help.

What needs to be done to set up an initial site and get it into a bzr repo? That way, those who are interested in helping can get familiar with it and possibly start building.
As for content migration, how would this be done (especially considering the wiki)? I assume the content files could easily be parsed to work with Django.
