Great, I hope we won't need any more resources, since transferring
websites is always a painful operation... well, at least for me :)

I could take over the website management somewhere around september /
october, until then I have my exam period, (each month for each exam),
so I have to say no to do that.
For now, I'll have to stick to handling the mailing list and the wiki
pages organization.

The reason I wanted it on my account was because they have one click
installations, one-click upgrades (especially for wordpress) and
maintaining it would be really quick.

Honestly, I don't really care who maintains the website or which one
is the server, as long as they know what they're doing and keep an
updated software, and know how to update quickly & effortlessly (not
keeping the site down for 1+ days and updating to the most secure
version of that time)
phpBB3 as forum software is really easy for installs and upgrades,
even for modified (addons) forums, you've made a great choice there :)

I wanted to beautify the website a bit, for two reasons:
1) I wanted to attract more people through a nice looking website (we
all know how compiz-fusion attracts users to play with gnu/linux
software)
2) I wanted an easy way to add news, even for simple users, with post
and publish buttons etc.
As I said, there's no reason to rush, we still have a long way to go.

You can put a voting poll in the forum about designing the website, be
sure to post the link here as well.
I will not take any serious actions before knowing the members'
opinion. As you said, ala debian :)
I suggest to put two polls: 1) If they want to change the design to
dynamic php 2) The software cms they would like us to use: joomla,
wordpress, drupal, or any other suggestions

P.S. I'll ask for the domain www.ubuntu-cy.org to be redirected to
www.ubuntucy.org - Some say that it requires the loco team to be
approved in order to be hosted within the ubuntu datacenter, we'll
see, I'll get back to you on that one.
