Should there be a website for Flang similar in content to clang.llvm.org? Github Pages are pretty straightforward to use and it would be able to serve that kind of content, though it might require manual updates (or a bot that would publish contents when they change).

I would make sure that you are cognizant of the PGI Flang efforts as to not collide with their project naming/placement.

That is good concern. As for URLs, most of Nvidia's Flang pages have "flang-compiler" in the name (for example flang-compiler.org redirects to their repo), so there would not be a full collision at least at the GH Pages level.
On deeper level though, I find it confusing that both projects are named Flang, but I really don't have a good proposal on how to fix that. Seems like eventually one project would need to be renamed. What are your thoughts on this?

The NVIDIA/PGI project is the official Flang project. We made a conscious decision to release the name to the NVIDIA project as it will likely garner much more support in the long term. As a result, if you want to continue development on this effort, I highly suggest you fork it and rename it.

That makes sense. I did not know that the name was officially released to Nvidia.

Any preference/advice for a new name? :)

As you have probably seen, I forked it as @llvm-fortran. I think it would beneficial if there is a note about it in description and readme, in case there are people eager to work on a Fortran compiler :)

You want https://github.com/llvm-fortran/fort not gihub.com (I'll try to remember to submit a pull for this later, but I'm on mobile rn trying to figure out how to get a fortran compiler recognized by cmake in termux...)
