[pygame] PyGame website

[Thomas Kluyver <takowl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looking at the list archives, I know this has come up a couple of times recently, so allow me to present a slightly different take.

A few people have proposed replacing the site with a new one. Others mentioned that migrating the existing content might be quite a lot of work, and the idea seems to have fizzled out each time. Also, the currently website is interestingly unique, and it would be nice to keep that.

So I suggest incremental improvements:
- Re-enable new user registrations
- Pick some of the people who have volunteered to help with spam, and give them moderator status (or whatever is equivalent).
- Have a push to make sure pages are up to date and useful. For instance, the 'What's New' page is >3 years out of date.

- Put the site theme/engine in a public repository where people can contribute to it. (Or if it already is, make it easier to find)
- Improve the theme - I've done a brief mockup of some minor changes to the front page [1].

- If necessary, work on ways to cut spam to manageable levels, like simple CAPTCHAs.

N.B. The changes here are quite minimal - I've left the main layout and the colour scheme the same, but tried to make it a bit less crowded. I didn't think it should look too serious.

Best wishes,
Thomas
