I've decided to implement the content management in a very simple way:

The reports' settings will be inserted in simple yaml files and uploaded in a git repo. The reports server will checkout the repository and periodically update the report pages with the setted information.

The promo team will only have to create new files for every report and git push them to have the website updated.

Here an example:

id : important_report
start_date : 2016-08-27
end_date:  2016-09-18
git_repos :
    - WikiToLearn/WikiToLearn
    - WikiToLearn/CourseEditor
    - WikiToLearn/WikiToLearnSkin
    - WikiToLearn/Neverland
    - WikiToLearn/texla
    - WikiToLearn/texla_api
    - WikiToLearn/EasyLink
    - WikiToLearn/pywikibot
    - WikiToLearn/OCG
    - WikiToLearn/wtl-utils
    - WikiToLearn/Reporter
    - WikiToLearn/WikiToLearnHome

great work! it looks just amazing!!

just a question, as the report is usually assembled after seeing the report itself:
is it possible to implement a "draft" mode, something like a keyword that, if present, won't publish the report? (something simple, like not linking it from the homepage and not adding it to the RSS feed and this kind of stuff)

also, when can we start to use this tool and to which repos should we push? :-)

the draft mode would be a good idea. I can enable it but for the moment it will be a option in the configs, like a status.

you put:
status : draft
and you will visit it at reports.wikitolearn.org/drafts/id
Then when it is read you have to change the status and commit the changes.

In the future I'll add a publish bottom or something like that.

yep, this interaction is perfect, you can also put it in the real place but simply not linked from anywhere

Deploying the website as described

The website is almost ready. The promo team can begin creating the report files as the example one in the ReportsMetadata repo.
