We have given access to anyone requesting it. I opened the door to
"volunteers just wanting one page to write and send it by email" only
because we were stalled, and the response was good. Now the content is
in the site and ready to be iterated.

Mmm... I believe you already asked that question a while ago and I
believe you were answered. If not, we can answer or you can find out
(it is as easy as going to the mother page and click on "new page" or
something like that).

However, you don't need to create any section or page, all this has
been done already. Have you checked http://gnome.jardigrec.eu/ ?  :)

In six months the answers have evolved.

In http://gnome.jardigrec.eu/en/about we are providing the most
essential information contained in the section. You are expecting like
instructions or a concrete proposal?

Take the tour is answering "What is GNOME - Product", About is
answering "What is GNOME - project, organization and people". I
believed I also answered in the same terms months ago. I seem to
remember you or someone disagreed, but we didn't get and I still don't
see any problem with having a very normal and standard "about us"
section.

The What is GNOME thing is in this page:
http://gnome.jardigrec.eu/en/take-the-tour . I sent this URL here
weeks ago for revision, and it got just a couple of comments with
minor changes.

Hope this helps to get you more centered.  :)
