I don't know if this is a topic for the CC:

Are there differences not being able to be solved inside the project or 
the projects involved?

Why shouldn't it be possible to define a recommendation for using the 
different areas for different purposed by the relevant project?

In my eyes the website project is exactly the area to discuss such 
questions - only in case of difficulties in decision finding (either 
inside this project or in discussion with other projects) the CC should 
be involved.

But that's just my personal opinion - not necessarily the right one...

You did understand me right: Not linking to the wiki page, but to the 
project frontpages at the website instead.

It is well organized, but I'm quite sure that nobody will be feel 
offended by removing the contribution.OOo/marketing.html page and 
linking to marketing.OOo directly. I ping Florian on this topic.

What we should do is adding a link to the distribution project at the 
contribution frontpage, because this link at the contrib.OOo/marketing 
page would be lost if we link to the marketing project directly.

Best regards
