Hi Clément,
if you wanted to get started now, website would be the more important of
the two. The main issue is that if someone's landed there for the first
time, they expect to find something completely different (latest
version download link, news, ...?) Don't know what's the best course of
action, so will leave that up to you and others.

AFAIK the git repo here reflects exactly what is served?
https://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap-www.git

An evolution on the caterpillar might also be considered at some point.

If you wanted to review documentation, pick a task and we can help from
there :)
