The staging.osgeo.org website is close to ready,
BTW, some issues (checking the page code):
* when using an (ad)blocker like uBlock (which I commonly use), then
the site does not contain any fonts and is quite "white".
Is there no other way that using external Google fonts?

I think we can self-host the Google fonts we are using as part of the wordpress site
And pull from here

One thing to consider is that we would expose our users to permanent
tracking when using external fonts.
Maybe nobody cares much but maybe some yes
The upcoming EU privacy directive (EU-DSGVO) will forbid to embed
external fonts like this to my knowledge. Sure, the server is
elsewhere but if not really needed we should do it well, especially
since we are OSGeo.
Out of curiosity does uBlock cause problems with other sites? Wondering how
widespread google fonts use is ...
Elsewhere I have no such issues (I was just surprised to be prompted
with a basically blank welcome screen (images shown) when looking at
the staging site).
We should have some ongoing support with get interactive and we can get this kind of thing resolved. Even with a quick look on stack exchange it seems there are several solutions available.
