A starting proposal for library.gnome.org

["Curtis C. Hovey" <sinzui cox net>]

I've reviewed the content of developer, www, and foundation sites, and I
put this proposal together for the libraries top level sections.

Almost every section will be organized into editions, with an index page
that will direct the user to the different editions.  What constitutes
an edition is driven by the section's content.  The index page will
emphasize the current edition, and the links to the current edition are
static; current maps to the most recent edition.  I believe that in he
case of old  editions like, API's, the page must indicate the content is
obsolete, something in the style perhaps so that the content isn't
revised.

Sections:

API
	This API content is derived from source packages.
	Editions are represented as major.minor releases of the API.
Programming guides 
	This section includes rules of programing, white papers, 
	and some of the existing features.  Some current guides 
	appear to be tutorials.  Obsolete guides, such as those that
	references old APIs, will be kept as an historical reference.
Programming tutorials & books
	This section contains introductions to the API, tutorials, 
	primers, and some archived features belong here.  Obsolete 
	tutorials, such as those that references old APIs, will be 
	kept as an historical reference.
Policies
	This section publishes the current policies about accounts
	on the GNOME servers.  Older editions are not kept.
Development FAQ
	Common questions and answers are kept in this section.  
	Outdated questions may be moved to the bottom of an FAQ
	section, or revised; irrelevant content will not be archived.
Standards 
	Current and older GNOME standards are published in this section.
	Links to other sites like freedesktop, w3c, and omg will direct
	developers and business users to the open standards that GNOME
	supports.
Case studies
	The content for this section does not exist.  Case studies are
	needed to illustrate the value of GNOME to developers and 
	business managers.
Contributor interviews
	This section lists interviews with GNOME contributors from 
	latest to oldest.
News
	This section lists the GNOME summaries from latest to oldest.
	If they grow too many for the page, they will be grouped by
	year.
Foundation charter and bylaws
	GNOME organizational documents are kept in this section.  Older
	versions of documents are kept for historical reference.
Press releases
	Press releases are listed from latest to oldest.  If they
	grow to be too many for the page, the site may group them by 
	year.
User and administrator guides
	This section offers guide for users and administrators, 
	organized by GNOME releases.
