Hi Hinerangi,
sorry for the late reply, we were a little busy with some other issues...
Good to know you're still there :) We welcome every piece of help you can give. We did not hear from Mathew, no. I think I tried to contact him some time ago... Maybe he's less busy now? You could just drop him a message, so he can see if he can make it in line with your timing.
The current 'evolutions' are focused on making the backend work again after a big update of the django and django-cms versions, which left the database in a regrettable state, and on making sure that any future regressions in functionality will be detected early.
There has been some work on making a 'Releases' (Download) page, which also has some really nice design by Jabier. It's not yet ready, and currently not primary focus, though. There's also a 'Tags' feature, but it is not in use, and not tested thoroughly (as far as I know). A plugin for donations is under development, but might need some polishing and maybe some extra functionality later on.
So there are lots and lots of places where things need to be done. I think Martin had asked if someone could do a review of the current design of the user profile pages, when we last talked about design. Would this make sense to you, or would you prefer to do things 'from scratch'?
But maybe Martin has other ideas? We didn't talk about design for a long time ;) - and I'm the least 'professional' in this little group here.
Btw. I noticed that the sourceforge mailing list digests were sometimes very unreliable - they can take weeks (!) to arrive, because they collect a set of messages before they are sent. Maybe it's better you switch to the non-digest version? The volume of this list is not too high...
Kind regards, Maren

Hello,
I'm still here and still willing to do the new responsive version of the website – unfortunately my work is bogging me down right through to my weekends at the moment :-( But as soon as my time frees up a little bit, I'll be back to help out! Sorry about that...
Have you had any news from the other designer, Mathew? Have there been any evolutions since I've been away (features, content, contstraints, people...)?
If you like we can prepare a plan of attack based on current needs and priority items, so that I can get started straight away as soon as I can dedicate time to it (I think in about a month's time).
Kind regards, Hine
