While discussing the color of the bike shed, I think it's a good idea
to have it as a sub-domain to the official site; compare
planet.gnome.org et al. Planet has become synonymous to the blog
aggregator, but something short and to the "community" effect is what
I'd like to see.
And, as it's by definition an unofficial site, it doesn't need to be
named exactly for its function. Could be a pun based on something in
Haiku or BeOS. [registrar.haiku-os.org, deskbar.haiku-os.org] for a few
examples. I'm sure someone could come up with something more
interesting.
