Number 1 on my wish list for an alternative is something that's either hosted or serverless; we always have problems with any server that needs maintaining. Right now there's on healthy server for scipy.org/docs.scipy.org, and I wouldn't want to see that run anything like Planet or Wordpress.

There are some static site generators, including rawdog ( https://offog.org/code/rawdog/) which apparently is used for planet.kde.org

Proof of concept: https://pv.github.io/rawdogplanetscipy/ https://github.com/pv/rawdogplanetscipy/

This has the advantage that it's sort of stateless --- anyone can just clone the git repository, and it should generate more or less the same page. Only static web server needed. Probably someone could put it into crontab and mostly forget about it.

However, it's misuse of github pages to host this there, so some other static host would need to be found.

Not volunteering to take this into completion, though.

Pauli
