Hm ... I don't know. To me the "projects" model more of the social side of
it. Indeed I would love to be able to register as a "user" or an "admirer"
of that project besides the the more technical roles. It would give the
developer some feedback of how interested the community in the large is in
some particular project. That's good for morale ;)

In the long-term I could imagine that we may want to subsume some of what we
have here in SM. But (technically speaking) I think it would be very
worthwhile to separate the two - it means that if one's down the other one
isn't and (to me) SM has much higher requirements in terms of uptime and
reliability. So I'd like to have a place where we can try to model the
social relations that's independent from the place that we use to do the
more technical stuff.

Cheers,
  - Andreas
