Maybe nixpkgs deserves its own website. I for one am not interested in NixOS at this point, but I can see it have a much larger impact and user base than nixpkgs (think mobile platform).
Nixpkg consumers are probably less sensitive to the look&feel of a website, so that site could be pretty simple and even hosted on github, for example. Pj.
