I like the blog idea - Stefano is talking about switching the planet blog
to a new Wordpress system anyway. This concept of writing articles is what
I discussed a bit at the Design Summit. I think we still need a way to make
posts part of the official documentation. For example, I just pulled in a
"customizing the dashboard" section from a blog entry, re-writing slightly.
That should go forward with the docs because it's something everyone needs
to know. But there's plenty of other docs that should live as blog entries.
CCing Stefano to see if he knows the state of the Wordpress tooling around
the blog aggregator.

I like the idea of a fourth self-identifier on the home page- "New to
OpenStack" - does anyone have time to mock it up using the index.html we
have?
