"No CMS" actually can work. Jimmac did a start on new GIMP's website
after last LGM. It's HTML5 + JavaScript which means it's static (and
therefore more difficult to hack), but easily updatable and can have
an RSS feed. I'm not sure what status this project currently has, I
can ask.

or shutting up and moving on. Shutting up has never been an option to
me.
