[rt-pmc] web site updates

I spent a bit of time today prototyping an update for the RT website (http://eclipse.org/rt).  The old one is clunky looking, not that informative and completely manual.  

The prototype is at 
	http://www.eclipse.org/rt/testweb/

Interesting characteristics:
- the list of projects is generated from the project database.
- the descriptions etc are harvested from the database as well
- the news column on the right side will (when a bug is fixed) be driven by a aggregation of blogs related to RT.  

What you need to do:
- Most of the projects do not have complete information in the database.  In particular, the following need to be filled in for this to be useful
	paragraph url  (this will show up in the list on the RT page.  Short and sweet)
		*** note that due to a bug, this must be a http://www.eclipse.org/... url.
	downloads url
	description url
	getting started url
	documentation url
	any other info that looks useful
- fix your project name to not say xxx Project. 	
Please check your project metadata to ensure it is up to date.

Future directions
- improve the logo on the top left
- update the subpages
- figure out interesting stuff to put in the boxes at the top right and the menu bar
- replace the Eclipse logo at the top left with the EclipseRT logo

Let me know what you think.  This should be on the agenda for next weeks call.
