[Gluster-infra] Revamping GlusterFS website for expanded participation

[Soumya Deb]

Thanks Julian!

I'm discovering how much data is available in current setup to measure the
participation. I'm hoping some tools to scrape data from our servers (like
Gitorious or Gerrit) and the website analytics data will give some details
on how we're doing now.

The next setup will have better participation measurement tool, telling us
where we're lacking behind & where're we doing better than before.

I'm also thinking on the line of having our own setup of stackalytics like
tool & a piwik setup to have better understanding of contribution data.

In general, these can be lowest hanging metrics to track:
- Volunteer submitted patches
- Volunteer edited documents
- Events/workshops/blogs etc
- Number of page visits (and page-to-page visits)
- Number of people trying out a GlusterFS playground setup (try.gluster.org)
- Number of people to discover & take action (join!) on contribute page etc.

These are from on top of my head.
Please fill me in if I'm missing something obvious.
