Maybe, one day. But then it has to be extended quite a lot. One step at
a time. 
I want to extend this site and maybe it can replace the official
site .(this site is not an official lazarus site, more a 'support'
site ;) )

But this site is also partly commercial, so that could become a problem.
And I don't agree that two sites is that bad. There are more OS projects
that have this.

I'll see what I can do. Idealy I'll have a designer re-design the page.
But I have no money for that, atm.
