A community driven effort would be best, but only if the community has a break even size where most stuff got handled by the community itself.

If it's only a small community, a commercial driven platform (with community support of course) would be best.
Well, Mer folks basically said they won't make it themselves, but I hope they can probably help out with information if the community will start such a thing. Also, don't mix up Mer and Jolla. While some Mer devs work in Jolla, Mer is really related to all Mer derived systems, not only to Jolla alone.

Yes, that's exactly what concerns me. Them making their sites is OK (i.e. for distinct products), but spreading the discussions and info resources all around is not so good. So what do you think will work. Should we cooperate with Opentablets folks? I think this kind of effort should involve all interested people. (I started a thread there: http://opentablets.org/topic/70-call-for-collaboration/ ).

Mer however already has a site, but it's probably not reasonable to host all Mer derivatives related stuff there (like developers and user forums). At least that's what I understood from Stskeeps. Mer site will concentrate on the core only, which mostly pertains to Mer vendors (such as Plasma Active, Jolla, Nemo architects and designers and so on).
