I think that Plone is much too complicated for what we need for  
puredata.info.  I think we would be better off if the whole thing was  
a wiki.  Right now we get very little user generated content, there  
are only a couple contributors to the website.  I think this is  
because things are much too complicated.

As for the downloads page, I am currently the maintainer and I really  
see no advantage to changing it.  If you want to add the plone  
software center as an additional thing, that's fine by me.

Same goes with the bugtracker, the sourceforge one works well, I see  
no reason to change it.
