I proposed to use collaboration platform like Open Atrium (free software
licensed under GPL) already some time ago. It would fit this scenario
perfectly, because users can register on such a platform, write something
about themselves and then join workgroups dedicated to a certain task. So,
we would have been a single community on a member level, but at some point
working isolated in groups (each group has it's own bugtracker and wiki)
depending on our interests. You can be a member of several groups, if you
wish.
On the website of a friend and me we were setting up an atrium instance for
our own, accumulated free software projects. You may take a look there to
get a feel of what I mean: http://community.moon-studios.com/
The reason this proposal did not get any grip was that the octave site is
hosted on Savannah and they only allow static pages. Open Atrium requires
php.
I think there are valid points in having a separation as well as having
unity.
