It is not with a company but the plan is to work with a community
member on that.
Since a "volunteers-only" approach didn't work out in the last many
years we now want to pay some of the effort in order to get it done.

We'll put more details into our Wiki page on which items are covered
and which approach to use in detail.
Perhaps that will help then. For sure, the technology decision between
CMS and e.g. static web pages generated from Markdown quite matters in
terms of a "distributed" way of maintaining it.

Best,
