I prefer the first one, the milk is always better. ie why do you think it is more difficult to people to ask and answer to the questions on the project website than on a generic website where you are not sure to find the right answer? For me it is just like posting an issue. And we could even share the credentials. By hosting the website and moderate ourself we will somehow validate the quality of the content. People will make sure to find the right persons. - benoit
