It really wasn't considered when we talked about the formation of 
Advocacy. We'd generate content, sure, but we really didn't have in mind 
being lead or sponsoring projects to lead the creation of the main 
site's content. If that's the way it works out, than that's fine, I 
suppose. Actually, now that you characterize it this way (as a project, 
  I mean), it would save us from having to create another Community Group.

The current Website Project, which I believe resulted from the release 
of the site source, is sponsored by the Tools CG.

I'm not sure if those who want to work on site content are all there, to 
be honest. I can think of a few people for sure, but others can 
certainly get involved from wherever they sit.

But even if we make "Website Content" a project of the Advocacy CG, that 
doesn't necessarily solve the concern many have about one project 
potentially making decisions that affect the entire community. In this 
case, it would involve the site. That's what I think Keith was getting 
at with his suggestion to add an OGB component to the site content issue.
