Hi all, I recently added placeholder pages for those items in the site 
navigation bar...
Now I am wondering what those pages should be.
I am wondering if the *Community* page will be a hub for all the 
different ways to interact and get involved.  Will it have the launchpad 
stuff, the mailing list, the G+, the Ubuntu Forums page, Ali's blog, a 
link to the IRC channel, etc?
Is there a specific framework as to what I can put in there yet, or is 
this something that simply needs to be a place holder until we decide.

The*Join* page, seems to me that it could simply be removed and the 
Community page could work to have both things

*Contact*
So, this page will be 1 of a few things (in my mind)
1.  It will be a php/JavaScript form that someone fills in and 'Submits' 
and it e-mails the appropriate 'department' based on what the choose out 
of a drop down list.
2.  Links to various e-mail/forum/IRC/etc...  though leaving an e-mail 
link is not always the most advisable.
3. Some sort of comment page (though a forum is already this area.

It seems that it may be nice to simply link to the IRC channel, and 
forums as we could avoid having a lot of e-mail traffic, though someone 
would have to be a forum moderator and read virtually everything that is 
posted, etc..  Though a community could take care of most of the Issues 
people have without need of the core team devoting time to that.

Any feedback you have would be appreciated.
I have updated the page a bit more (some of it superficial, some of it 
content.. mainly the Downloads section...)

OH, and *News*.
Ali, if you want to e-mail me the news in plain text, or whatever you 
like I will add it to the site.  I think this will be a good simple way 
to do things for the time being.  If we need to involve WP (or Drupal, 
etc...) we can in the future and tailor the news page to be the only 
place that uses WP, so the rest of the site can remain lighter.
I will Update the News page to have a few more things, and we could 
possibly add some sort of way to update the content through a php form, 
like WP, but that is of course something that is not pressing.  Simply 
getting news updates will be enough at this point.

(sorry this is so long)
