I have no experience with Jekyll: Can it programmatically generate pages
from templates (with Python)? If yes, we could even think of moving the
blends-tasks pages there. The current system uses genshi, which is at
least unusual. And since I think to rewrite the non-static pages anyway,
this would be a good chance to switch.

It not, I could probably replace the generated part of the Debian-Astro
web pages by something static (they did anyway not change as much as I
expected -- to be specific: they didn't change at all). I would however
still like the idea of having a landing page that has some actual
information on it (number of packages, number of bugs, latest uploads or
similar).

Cheers

Ole
