Sounds like good ideas. I understand your concerns earlier in the thread, however I still think /governance belongs on www.a.o. I don't want to see community.a.o generating a lot of new content outside of its scope of enabling new contributors and "signposting" - there's enough problems with docs being split between incubator and www.a.o/dev as it is :)
