While it is easy to dream up this idea, implementing this isn't. Just because the sites look the same, doesn't mean they will automatically interface correctly!
There are lots of technical reasons why this is not easy.
- SSO needs to be in place, no matter what.
- 2 completely different systems need to know of each other. A news item for instance needs to know how many comments there are.
- Some kind of mapping needs to be done between topics on maemo.org and threads on talk.
- database on the other side of the world is slow at best. (A lot of round trips are needed)
- posting comments to talk while browsing on maemo.org can't be done with ajax. (cross domain/host posts aren't allowed)
So there would need to be some kind of replication or server side communication in the background. A lot of details to think of....
Doable? Yes
Easy? No
