I'm open to your suggestions. if we end up making two websites then so
be it. But I'll really like to go for the community site instead of
just a bunch of tutorials, I believe we'll get more tracks on TG if we
have an enfasis on real life applications, hence the jobs,
companies,etc. components.

As for Lee's proposition it was briefly discuss a while ago, and I'm
interested too, although if this doesn't gets accepted by soc we'll
need to work out the sharp edges and see if our visions of the app are
compatible or not.
