Feedback requested: Re-design of the Gluster.org web site

Greetings,

As you probably know, the gluster.org web site has been using the same design for over two years now, and we still have the problem of a web site that uses multiple applications, none of which are integrated. We are fixing that - soon.

Take a look at the latest site design posted on the gluster-site project on the Gluster Forge:

- https://forge.gluster.org/gluster-site/gluster-site/blobs/raw/master/_site/index.html

The text on these pages will change as we change the language and add more documents. Be patient as the site is under heavy development.

We are producing a site that is consistent across all pages, including the Gluster Forge, and will have a single user database across all of gluster.org. To do this, we opted for a flat-file model powered by Awestruct, which you can read about at http://awestruct.org/ , and using asciidoc as the default document standard. 

New text and documents will continue to be imported into the new structure over the next couple of weeks, so please bear this in mind if you visit the staging server while it's broken.

At the moment, the site design is hosted via a git repository on the forge. Once this is pushed to a proper staging server, I'll send out the new URL.

Thanks,
JM
