I know, but both projects I mentionend have no website at all.
Should we use Userbase to keep all stuff a website normally includes like

There was a thread on te promo list if I am right with some good arguments not 
to use techbase. Wait ... searchig ... here we go:

The gnome link looks sophisticated.

Hahaha. Sounds like you did it before ;-)
