Exactly. Just relocate the current eric web site.

Sounds good. I played a little bit with Django in order to create the eric4 
Django plugin and I liked it.

Most of the files won't change very often. It's mostly the News page and 
possibly the screenshots page, if I make major changes to the GUI.

An RSS feed connected with the News page would be great.

I am rather selective because I commit often and not all commits are suitable 
for the public. In addition to that, the snapshot is built from the source by 
a script. However, it doesn't do any magic and I could provide it to you to 
hook it up to Django. That way I could initiate a remote sync of the 
repository, and a built of the snapshot packages. Another alternative would 
be to do it like it's done today and upload the files via scp (or some other 
means).

I'd vote against that.

I am very pleased with offeres and would like to thank you.

No.

Unfortunately, from Germany they are, if they are not .de domains.

I don't want to manage the domain.
