I agree that the web site could be improved in many ways. I don't agree
it's too ofsetized. That's important for gcompris to support and benefit
from a wider organisation like ofset. It's a perfect win/win situation.
For this we need to keep gcompris under the ofset look and feel and
umbrella.

That's true, it's 'boring' to update and sometimes I forgot.

The maintenance of the web site can be done by anybody who as an account
an sourceforge and that is accepted in the ofset developpers group.

In fact, the web site is maintained in a CVS and is made on top of M4
macro. There is nothing to know about m4 to update the pages. You write
regular HTML, you run make and it creates a .html file that you can
verify. Then commit and 24 hour later, the web site is updated.

Note that I recently improved the about page. It's much more clear now
but not perfect.

This should definitly go in our wiki at:
http://www.ofset.org/wiki/index.php/GCompris

No, the translators may have no knowledge at all on gcompris. .po files
are regularly updated by the gnome i18n teams as part of general gnome
translation support. That why it's great to be there in the CVS.

But the idea is good.
