I don't understand what you want to do other than run a website and
collaborate with other websites, whatever that means in this instance.

Oh. Is the one that is there frequently asked?

Given that your site is embryonic, I would consider almost every
well-known debian resource is doing things better. Examples are:
http://www.debian.org/
http://www.debian-administration.org/
http://www.debianplanet.org/
http://www.aboutdebian.com/
http://planet.debian.net/
