Official Emacs website points out to various other official Emacs related resources: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/documentation.html But who will watch the website? Just small number of actual users. Emacs is by my feeling just installed as part of GNU/Linux system by the OS package manager. >From Emacs itself it is harder to find Emacs website, I do not even know how.

A curated index that points to various messages and answers some common questions is useful to be published on static pages as that would be picked up by search engines.
