The structure lacks a portal for third-party developers: This is GNOME's most important product. The desktop has no real selling points unless lots of third-party dev's use the dev. platform. (Example: If you spend 90% of your time in OpenOffice, hunting OK buttons, you don't mind much about the usability of some dialogs that you use once a year!) We don't need a whole portal for contributors. Contributors cannot be convinced by a few web pages. They grow slowly into helping. And most of them are hardcore enthusiasts and geeks, anyway, so they can deal with live.gnome.org as a portal for contributors. Additionally, the sub-projects change their policy so often that wgo would be outdated almost always. Next, I'm not quite sure whether it makes sense to sort gnomefiles and art.gnome site by site to the LiveCD, the release notes, and the sources. I'd probably be not very happy about the location if I'd be the maintainer of one of these sites. However: Since I'm not ... ;-) We really need to remove the contributors section and move the old development section back in.
