I think it would make sense to aggregate ideas like that on

 http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam_2fWebsiteUpdates

or a similar page on live.gnome.org

It might lead to a better overview on various website issues, wants and
needs of different groups, and so on. The addition of a second
navigational element, for example, makes a lot of things possible and
it might be good to discuss its results in detail.

For example, I'd like to work on a seperate user.html page - most
interesting user information is on contacts.html where nobody really
looks, IMHO.
