Yeah, it's more like we have these familiar internal processes we need
to follow at least. And we have those processes and infrastructure and
such already defined and managed by *other* people.

On the public side there are no such things, so the barrier for entry
for us is bit too high. We could probably handle managing the content
(even if it meant updating some content in two places), but setting up
the infrastructure first is just too much, for me at least. (That's why
haf.maemo.org is still as informational as it is...)

Joel Spolsky recently wrote an article I found interesting and I guess
it remotely matches our situation in certain aspects:
