There are the two main websites, and on top of that a *lot* of more or less small sites that all carry more or less vital information. But they all look different, the Emacs webring hasn't really helped, and well... With rather amateurish means, we've tried to put together something that goes beyond that: MGO tries to encourage users to contribute to (in this case) Gnus in whatever way they can. We've put up a means of easily submitting and publishing Documentation (see ), Code , Wikis and weblogs . Also, there are screenshots, announcement facilities etc. You can see the machinery behind it in full action at . Ah, and we give away email accounts for Members :-) Anyway, I think it'd be neat if someone picked up the idea and made something like this (on a larger scale, this is just a hobby project driven by 5 people) for both Emacsen. E.g. while I find this thread highly interesting, it will suck to read it in a webarchive for later generations. The Zope devel proposals are up on the web and can be commented on - since ZWikis can be edited with (X)Emacs, it's almost the same as writing mail :-)
