Yep, that's the list.
That page explains the old python.org website system. It doesn't have anything to do with wiki.python.org.
My mistake. That page does seem outdated.
I must've been looking for one level up: https://www.python.org/dev/pydotorg/
Sorry to say, but that content is outdated as well :-(
What content should be version controlled with the website?
The current python.org website is a mix of code and templates in github repo, content/data stored in a database and a (for various reasons) homegrown CMS to manage pages such as the ones you found. There's work underway to replace the homegrown CMS with a standard more feature rich one, which will hopefully allow us to open up site editing to way more volunteers than we currently have. wiki.python.org is a separate VM, which doesn't have anything to do with www.python.org. The VM runs a more or less standard moin installation, which uses its own version control system (you can access this via the "info" link on the pages).
We need people who have experience in technical writing and a passion to maintain informational resources.
FWIW: A change of tools won't magically give us better content.
A boost in familiar usability could encourage effortless contributions.
The wiki does support ReST syntax if you don't like the wiki markup:
Ah, thanks!
