Well, we could just delete all the current projects
pages ;) Some of them are unmaintained and some
duplicate things we want to say elsewhere. But the
various app teams might object.

Because, speaking as an average surfer, when I see
gnomesupport.org, with its different url and its sort
of the same navbar but not quite, I don't know whether
it's offically a gnome site or not. Not that it should
matter -- support is support -- but I then wonder 'If
this isn't part of GNOME, is there another, REAL
support site?'
The general idea is, I believe, that if it's something
we run at gnome, then it's a part of gnome.org.

Community is a gateway to Foundation, Planet, Guadec,
and others. See
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/Navigation

If it seems like we're shoehorning stuff into
categories, yes, perhaps we are. But we have a lot of
sites and bits spread all over and linked up like
spaghetti. (See monster list here:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/GnomeSubsites and even
compiling that and figuring out what exists took us a
while)
wgo itself is already quite full of stuff we want:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/NewWgoStructure

The general idea is that navigation items in the
general bar common to all gnome sites go to
subdomains,  leaving wgo's own primary bar.
