Regarding " So, would you suggest Linus to maintain a dedicated web site for Linux? :) "
- yes, I would. I just know that I was responsible for the documentation fro the code I wrote, so why shouldn't he be responsible for his code and documentation on it too ? And "the central linux site" (whatever it is) may be organized in such a manner: <top_dir> -> <top_dir>/main.html <top_dir>/Linus_Torvalds/ <top_dir>/Andrew_Morton/ <top_dir>/Alan_Cox ... <top_dir>/Jaroslav_Kysela <top_dit>/Takashi_Iwai and the the main page (main.html) may be organized in a manner there are links on it to the corresponding files greatest_and_latest.html under the developers' directories, e.g. <top_dir>/Linus_Torvalds/greatest_and_latest.html <top_dir>/Andrew_Morton/greatest_and_latest.html ... <top_dir>/Jaroslav_Kysela/greatest_and_latest.html <top_dit>/Takashi_Iwai/greatest_and_latest.html and the developers will just update their greatest_and_latest.html files. The developers' directories can be owned by their respective developers, so each will be able to screw up only his/her stuff. IMHO, from programming point of view things should be organized in a manner which requires the least possible interaction between people. But the above means people should interact a lot to work out a mutually acceptable solution.
