The current project pages are a sort of orthogonal
slice through gnome  -- you have a front page aimed at
everybody, some screenshots, a download/how to get
page (which is sort of aimed at users, except most
users got all of our software installed by their
distro, no?), and then pages aimed at new and existing
developers.

Along similar lines to what Jeff says, I think we have
to rip this apart.
On www.gnome.org we want to provide an overview of the
software we offer.
On developer.gnome.org (or whatever it becomes after
it rises from the ashes) we want pages aimed at developers.
