Release notes and wgo revamp

["Quim Gil" <quimgil gmail com>]

There is a lot of work to do and we don't seem to progress much (or at
least not as much as we need to deliver something good by March 14th)

We need to be clever reciclyng as much work as possible. Here is a
proposal to have something ready that is better than the current
website and is also easily extensible to continue working on the 15th
onwards.

- We need release notes. Since they need to be translated to nn
languages and there is no plan for i18n in the current release, let's
keep them in the CVS/SVN as usual. However, we can keep them simple
and create part of their content as GNOME Products pages, at least for
the new modules included:

devtools suite
seahorse
nm-applet
devhelp
glade3

- We need content for the home. The spash will be the 2.18 splash. The
product promoted can be glade3, let's concentrate efforts in this
product page, getting help of their maintainers. If we have more
rocking product pages we can introduce the random rotation of promoted
products, if not Glade3 will do to start with. The rest are feeds
coming from gnomedesktop.org & planet or static texts easy to put up.

Let's have a look to the sections:

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoTakeTheTour
Panos, are you still available to help with the graphics? If there is
a designer I will provide texts for a whole tour. If not I will draft
a single page, to be expanded, linking to a screenshots gallery at
art,gnome.org and whatever reference pages we come up with.

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/GnomeProducts
Let's compromise ourselves to the 5 new modules mentioned above and
let's make a call to the teams to create themselves the product page
of their GNOME projects. We will help to those answering the call and
uploading content. We won chase anybody.

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/CaseStudies (Success Stories)
Let's make a call for stories and let's provide the tool for people to
publish them. And let's ask the GNOME Journal team if they have
stories to be re-published there (if this makes sense to them). If we
get enough good material we will publish the section, If not we will
take it out completely until it is worth publishing.

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoGetStarted
If Joachim or someone can write the 7 pages planned, great, If not we
will start with one, to be expanded.

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoGetInvolved
Same.

- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/WgoAbout
Same.

One very useful exercise. Can someone go through the current gnome.org
and see which pages or excerpts can be mostly reused? We can create
new pages with them according to the currently planned structure - and
polish/improve them afterward.  Thomas did this very useful map in
order to track the existing pages:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/CurrentWgoStructure

Does this plan make sense? Ideas?
