Even suggestions and comments are very very very helpful actions, what
is needed to get people involved beyond that ?

That is probably into the developers' plans.

I'm agree.

Don't know what you exactly want to mean with 'have access to test
DOMs, so it's not necessary to set up local installations' . Local
installation of what ?

DOMs = Document Object Models ?

Well, don't know if correct but, wiki.centos.org is for general
documentation, trac would be used to document specificities of each
project.

Definitely. Does the work done at the moment could help on building a
timeline or plan for actual and further works ? and is something
missing to complete the needed parts of the distribution redesign.

Actually afaik, to get $LANG sites is need a common design, something
that fits what we have on the wiki, trac, and recently in mantis. To
do that the application proposed was Puntal. Personally, I tried to
reach http://www.puntal.fr and my DNS couldn't resolved the related IP
address of that site. Have any of you the same situation ?
