 Nostr having an official website sounds like an oxymoron to me. Here's why:
nostr:note1ey6mp238a0pnzma7da7mg6x283whpdv8vl89mck905p3adyssfvq3yty84  
 1. There is no Global 
 2. It would be outdated in a week 
 3. If you send someone there, you could probably also have sent them to a nostr app more suited for their persona. 
 4. We need many sexy "Get started on Nostr" sites/apps for normies.  
 To me this seems more like something each app on Nostr should build for their users. “Get started on Damus” “…on Habla” “…on Zap.stream” and so on. It’s kind of like trying to build a “getting started on the internet” guide. There are maybe a handful of concepts that apply to all sites (Nostr address, npub/nsec, zaps, etc) but beyond that, so much depends on the specific application running on the protocol and their individual UI and design choices. 
 Exactly! 
That's a great way of saying it also: Get started on the internet 👌
 
 Counterpoint: a website already exists at nostr.com, it is the top search result, people are going to be looking at it so it’s in everyone’s best interest to make it great. It doesn’t need to be overly official.
