Each time I try to find new information about PD, I click and google the
web forever. The pd webring, spider and other url lists are useful, but
what's needed now is a unique collaborative portal, where all softwares,
externals, documentation and tutorials would be collected, adapted,
corrected, standardized, translated...

Since you prefer Python to PHP, take a look at the Nuxeo CPS kit
for Zope, which is designed to manage collaborative portals:
http://www.nuxeo.org/
http://www.cps-project.org/

I'd be willing to help.

With the help of a collaborative portal, the others would be developpers 
and users. It doesn't have to be nuxeo, but it should be easy to use.

We could try to build a test site and tranfer pure-data.org later.
