I would diagree. Up to now there a tons of sites concering FPC/Lazarus:
freepascal.org, sourceforge, stack.nl, wiki, ftp-sites, mirrors, cvs, etc.
That produces much confusion. There is a good rule by marketing people: 
"One face to the customer".
Moreover people are used to see Free Pascal and Lazarus as *one* 
project. But it isn't.

some discussion points:

- one canonical site
- consistent style/color on all sites
- strip off old bones (TP tutorials, MOS)
- merge FPC and Lazarus sites
