I don't really think a hierarchy is the best way to present it. I'd rather
have a place that would silently point me to other places. By 'silently' I mean
I should not feel like going to a completely different place (the look & feel here).

The following is intended for discussion:
Suppose I go to the section: Developer Documentation -> Glade.
Where should I be pointed to??? To the gnome.org's documentation page, where
there's some docs on glade, or off to glade's own documentation page???

I think this brings us to the following questions: 
- What makes up Gnome?
- What is developed for Gnome (but is not Gnome)? 
We should know the answers for this kind of questions beforehand.

Where these sub-sites would be hosted is (as my limited knowledge makes me think)
not really important. It would be nice, though, having a cohesive set of domain names.

Guess that's nice. This would even prevents users from poking into API docs
while trying to find out how to configure Evolution's mail-filters. It
would be like: "This room looks different from the one I wanted to be at,
better go back!"

Agreed, although I don't like the 'Part of' part. A G-Family logo (linking
to G-Family's home page) would be nicer, IMHO.

Guess we can't decide this only us two! 
Hey Mr.DJ, put the discussion on, I wanna flame with my baby... (Ooops!)
