You could somehow use it to establish kind of an official page to JS-community. Right now js-community is divided, there is the angular community, the jquery community, the node community, the meteor community, etc, but a JS community that would aggregate all JS project communities is not organized yet. Without it JS will always look less popular than it really is.

That aggregation you mention is traditionally called the "planet", and has a long history:

http://planet.lisp.org/

http://planet.emacsen.org/

http://www.planetnetbeans.org/

http://planetopendata.herokuapp.com/opendatanews?style=hacke...

There are probably several packages which will ease the creation of such a thing, but this is the one I know of: http://www.planetplanet.org/

Ex. I make a search for "ruby", the first result I get is ruby-lang.org. For "python": python.org. For "clojure": clojure.org. For "PHP": php.net (...)

For "javascript", I get w3schools.com/js !!! I know that Javascript is in constant evolution, but we need some kind of "headquarters to gather our troops", do PR and marketing.

JS community cannot be a Peter Pan forever, one day we must grow up.

...thats exactly my thinking.
