Well, there's somethings to consider.
* gnus.org is functional and looks quite nice for the most part.
* gnus.org is perfectly well browsable with lynx. socha.net is definitly
not (it works OK with w3m and w3, though ;-)).
* gnus.org loads fast. Although socha.net's connectivity is probably as
good as it gets, the PHP news engine behind it is (for the time being)
rather slow.
* quimby at least is in a company DMZ. socha.net is not. If socha.net is
broken into, that's bad luck (and taking into consideration PHP's
history, it's not all that unlikely, OpenBSD or not...).
Therefore I fully agree with Lars that what's there should stay there.

I don't see the problem, really. If you want gnus, you'll get it at
gnus.org. If you wanted resources, you had to go the gnus.org/resouces/
(IIRC), anyway. No difference.

I think it's ok, too. "community" might also work.

<Directory /var/www/htdocs/gnus/>
Redirect /resources/ http://resources.gnus.org/
</Directory>
Insert mod_rewrite at will. Any further questions? ;-)
