[Usability] Moving the HIG



Recently, I've been attempting to revive gnome-devel-docs.
I started it with the Platform Overview that I wrote, and
have recently moved the GDP Style Guide and GDP Handbook
there.  I would like to see this module filled out with
more of our documentation.

The types of documents I'd like to have are those that
are of interest to people developing against our platform
and are intended to be maintained over time.  The obvious
exception are documents that clearly belong to a particular
released module, such as API references.

My goal is to include all such documents.  Having them all
under one module has a number of advantages:

1) People don't have to dig around SVN to find sources.
2) We have a very clear list of what documents we have.
3) We can ensure the documents are maintained and released.

A rough overview of what I'd like to see is here:
http://live.gnome.org/DeveloperGuides

I would like to propose that we move the HIG from its
current very buried location into gnome-devel-docs.
The Usability Team will still have complete control
over the content of the HIG.

Since I would like to make actual releases of this
module, the content should be in a releasable state
at release time.  Of course, the Usability Team can
always make branches for more long-term changes.

Thoughts?
