Some time ago you seemed willing to hand over administration of the
website to a contributor (I believe it was Alvaro). I see gnu.org[1]
has an CVS accessible[2] version of the website (though it is very old).

   [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/texmacs/
   [2] 
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs//software/texmacs/?cvsroot=www.gnu.org

Why not move the maintenance of the website to Savannah? There are
many things I would like to fix on it, and we could also use it
directly as a repository for user contributions.

You could easily synchronize the texmacs.org website with the CVS
using a tool like sitecopy (granted you have FTP access to
texmacs.org). And we could probably arrange domain name transfer with
the admins at gnu.org.

But in the current setup I have little motivation to improve the
texmacs.org website.
