Well done. This is great stuff, and obviously a lot of work.

1. The first page
(http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/C/index.html)
has a link at the end to the "release notes"
(http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/)
Even with the correct link, it doesn't make much sense for it to link to
itself. In the past we added a sentence in the middle of the page,
before the boring stuff and the learn-more stuff, saying 
"If you are already familiar with GNOME, you might go directly to What's
New for Users or use the other navigation links.", with a link of
"What's New for Users".

Without this, people often don't realise that there's more to read. They
don't see the [Next] link and they think the menu at the right is just
another site-wide menu. Then they complain about how the release notes
don't contain any information.

I guess you were halfway to doing something like that.

This still seems to be the same. I am concerned that, as it is, people
will never get to the good stuff.
