...there was some "because" text behind this "not neededs".

That's why mailing lists are automatically archived... ;-)

Yes, indeed, but the difference with my proposal is:
1. define a well-defined target group: the contributing community
2. start with small projects to target this group
3. start more small projects to target this group
4. start even more small projects to target this group

Then, we don't have to care about end users, business people, and
admins *because* caring about these people will be the task by the
different Jabber projects outside this specific project *and* the
purpose of the jabber.org website project will be to help the
different Jabber projects in doing this.
