I can help with Formulator as well as with other technical detail. But
since I wear various hats on the list I can't really guarantee a lot of time.

Indeed, sounds like a very good start to me.

I can supply a bit of breadcrumb python script easily. But I'm sure
you can too. :)

Note that this is also relevant to the PR people and so on, not just
to the web, as we're talking about contents here. I'll create a wiki
page of your structure and announce it up for some discussion, in case
you missed something. Then after a (short) amount of discussion, we'll whip
it up.

Let's start out in English, and if people become very motivated to make
it multilingual they can lend a hand. We should provide the press release
in multiple languages though, but that's simple enough to accomplish.
