As you already stated, this board does a pretty good job with the up-to-the-second news. There are a few other sites such as the developers site, geek site, and logo site that are useful too. A website that I would visit would be one that:
1) Brings everything together even better.
2) Includes downloads for every empeg software available including kernel patches, software utilities, and official releases. Of course for this to be useful there needs to be detailed descriptions for all software.

All of this is usually available on this board or links but it is so spread out it is difficult to find sometimes.

I may have missed out and there may be a site like this already but if there isn't I would definitely visit it.
