separate fpo domain? (was Re: making the website better)

[Michael Beckwith]

I think it'd be possible to divide the current fp.o url into the 
specific parts, it would just include 1 more click. Perhaps on the root 
domain, we sort of wipe it clean and provide 3 major links: "For 
Developers", "For Users", "For Community Members" or whatever audiences 
we've determined. Then behind those links, are links relative to the 
audience they clicked. Users would get links to acquiring the distro and 
further explanation of what they need to consider. Community members 
would get links to the various wiki pages and other pages important to 
them, and so on with the rest.

We could also provide our little banners that count down to various 
releases and events, and any other little sidebar stuff we want. 
Nonetheless this would help seperate and distinguish where the various 
audiences should go.
