There are two audiences here, keep that in mind: 1) USERS of NetBeans (who will visit www.netbeans.org) 2) DEVELOPERS of NetBeans (who will visit netbeans.apache.org) The best way to handle this is simply to, yes, have two web sites - one for users of the project and one for the developers. There is nothing standing in the way of that. The only obligatory thing is that the developer site must be at netbeans.apache.org.
