Before we create the website, I plan to install a content management 
system. We can do some tweaks to the current one.  This was a big 
bottleneck for LGM2. 

One other thing which we did use to good advantage for LGM 2 is IRC. 

#lgm on irc.freenode.net is registered and many developers from 
various teams are there. 

Sometimes, there is nothing better or faster than interactive 
chatting.

For joining: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=irc
has some hints for first time folks and simply substitute #lgm for 
#scribus
