I'm extremely leery of any attempt to consolidate things.  It just 
raises the barrier to participation.

Anyway, it has been suggested in the past that, for example, 
docs.ruby-lang.org redirect to ruby-doc.org.  I forget the details, though.

All in all, ease of use for users must be balanced by ease of use for 
maintainers, or the users will have less to use.
