Making anything harder than it already is will be the kiss of death.

Site should try to follow basic good layout and navigations standards
(de facto, not de jure) as a matter of general good sense.  Maybe some
common themes will evolve over time.

The branding and marketing (which is pretty much the flavor I'm getting
here) is not a bad thing, but something of a side issue.

For example, when I read about people having issues with finding Ruby
documentation, the most common problems are

1) They do not know ruby-doc.org exists.
2) They know about the site, but there are no docs for what they want to do.

Issue one is increasingly rare; most Ruby sites have links to ruby-doc
(and, writing this, I realize I'm been dopier than usual, as ruby-doc
seems to have nary a link to any other Ruby site.  Ah well.  All is
changing anyway.)

Issue two is more critical, and, all things being equal, needs more
attention.  And it is improving every day, but more is always welcome
and needed.  People should feel encourage to put up Ruby sites and host
threads, forums, docs, apps, project, cartoons, and what have you.

Official or not.
