I'd be very happy to help, with whatever has to be done with the gnome-ui
website (or the gnome website if you want :-))

... have you considered using Zope? I've seen that it's already used in
GNOME news so it's nothing new. For what I've used it it seems very
appropiate for the GNOME website, and specially for what you are
proposing. The latest versions (2.0 and up, I believe) have good support
for XML and it's improving. It is also very easy to learn and to manage,
it can handle version control and multiple levels of undo. (I promise I
have nothing to do with Zope, it's just that I think it's a nice piece 
of sw :-))

Maybe using it could make it easier to implement your proposal, without
having to write our own scripts.
