I am wondering, why don't you have it as "my.reactos.org" instead of
"myreactos.org" though? I feel it may benefit as you don't have to manage
two domains, and since it is a part of ReactOS making it a sub-domain
makes it look as if it is an official ReactOS site.

Hello everyone!
In the latest 6 months, Niski and I have been working on a testing
ground/proof of concept of a ReactOS community site, currently called
the >ReactOS Portal.
The idea of a ReactOS community site has been floating around for years
due to the fact that our followers (Users and Non-Users) keep >expecting
more info and more features.
For this purpose, and having in mind that a ReactOS community site needs
to focus on the followers' needs, we've created a light, eyecandy, >easy
to maintain Drupal-based site, to serve as a testing ground, and also as
a proof of concept for the ReactOS Community idea.
Despite the fact that the community site is mainly targeted towards the
project followers, we didn't forget our developers and official testers
needs. We've already included some (hopefully)
useful features, and we
welcome ideas and suggestions.
The community site is made for everyone, by everyone.
To avoid quite a lengthy email, we'll enumerate the Top Features we've
added. We've also prepared a PDF and a Video, that you can download
************ALL+IN+1***********
All the info in ONE click (latest blog posts, forum replies, commits, ML
posts and wiki activity)
******Multiblogging System*****
Several blogs, managed from just one Blogging System. Easy to post and
maintain.
***********IRC-CHAT************
An integrated IRC client for the ReactOS communiy.
*********Contact Page**********
Redesigned, full of info.
**************FAQ*************
A much more user oriented FAQ with new Tester and Translator sections.
************RosKarma***********
A new forum module : "More Karma an User has, more reliable he is" and a
new Autobanning System : "Bye,bye Trolls".
*********Answered Post*********
Another new forum module : Answered topics turn Green(easy to spot) and
get locked ("No more Necromancy").
***********Rosquests***********
Another new Forum module : "Use Forum Users skills for ReactOS project".
How? Read the PDF or watch the video for more details.
**********MultivideoBox********
"An image is worth than thousand words".
Videotutorials, ReactOS presentations... and much more.
*******Social Networking*******
"Facebook, Vimeo, Youtube, and Tweeter integration".
And after getting some feedback we've added more features :
***Unlimited/Free FTP account***
Now Official Developers/Testers can have FTP accounts to easily and
conveniently share ReactOS ISOs (or any other files).
We're also considering integrating the Software Compatibility Database
into the Portal.
We hope you like it, your feedback is very important, so that we can
create a comfortable, highly efficient Community Site.
