I would be very careful with removing the product page.  It is the 
outcome of what we do. The thing you can touch.
It would be a severe step back to remove it.

I see the different sections as:
* What we do - GNOME 3 page (+ a future technologies page)
* Why we do it - About us
* How we do it - Get involved/Foundation

I don't think cutting off "What we do" from that formula would help 
much. Making "Why we do it" better is much more efficient.
In addition, things like privacy, where it touches on the product 
(privacy controls, future sandboxing etc) can be highlighted on the 
product page.
