For dante.de, I don't think so. Security issues, what packages are 
installed, in what versions, how to handle the complaints that a 
document doesn't work; I see neither sufficient interest nor 
sufficient personal resources to maintain such a service. Hell, we 
don't even find people who contribute work on the FAQ or on DANTE's 
Web site.
