I don't understand what the replacement is?

This sounds very useful.  I think perhaps it could be a module in  
puredata.info. It could also be a separate server/site if someone  
else wanted to host it, something like blog.puredata.info.  I think  
IEM does enough, it's good to share the work load.  Of course, I have  
no problem if IEM (namely, IOhannes) wants to host it.

To me, this sounds like the exhibition as we originally planned it.   
IIRC, you basically had it setup, we just needed to launch it.  The  
idea of having it curated with a ban on self-posting should help the  
ego.  I think this in conjuction with the blogs would work well.
