I am not calling for lack of new content on the site. News and
downloads ab blog entries can appear.
It does not have to be as extreme 'outsource' as the recently
announced Phonon web site [1] but maybe there's no need to have
specific content (e.g. development notes that are changing on daily
basis) spread over separate web sites.

Just a though. At least I gave up with this at kexi-project.org (the
old content is just not reviewed or migated, the new one is entirely
based on community/techbase/userbase).
