I've been subscribed to the website mailing list already from the 
beginning - and I didn't get this impression, even if it has positive 
aspects of course.

As I think Christian is aware of the goals and the way the team decided 
to achieve them. On the website list he replied to my question:

"Do you plan to divide access to different areas (not only native-lang, 
but teams like marketing/branding, QA, ...) ?"

without mentioning any of the points you describe here:

That's the reason to come up with this question here.

I'm not fully convinced - there are areas that should be presented on 
the website rather than in the wiki: Press material, officially approved 
artwork, all the stuff that shouldn't modified but used unchanged is 
better located on the website but in the wiki with locked pages / resources.

If we decide to replace not only the website CMS but also the wiki by 
Drupal (this really has not been decided - and it doesn't need to at the 
moment), these questions will become less important I think.

So this concept should be discussed and decided on the website mailing 
list - it's not at all a marketing only topic.

Best regards
