I spent some time reviewing the contents of the main website. I took
some notes on issues I'd like to fix.

(I just realized that the gluster main website site is generated from
the git repo on glusterforge and that there is a documentation writing
page. So I'll review those.)

However, eventually I started to wonder: What is the relationship
between the main website the wiki? It like certain pages like this
one:
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS_Concepts
Contain info already present on the main site.

And I just realized that there is a copy (or slightly different
version) of the getting started guide here:
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_overview
In addition to the getting started guide on the main site:
