/docs is the only major holdout currently and we are already working on 
moving that over.

I dont quite get this. How are we going to get automatic redirects in 
fedora.redhat.com at any point at all if the infrastructure is not 
compatible? Are we going to change the infrastructure?

Its not as difficult as you make it sound. "static content" can just be 
wiki pages with ACL's. The number of static pages in fedora.redhat.com 
is probably just a dozen and some of which are already duplicated in the 
wiki.

Actually it does. There a number of old pages that google finds confuses 
  users like Thorsten pointed out and having the website so spartan is 
bad. It also splits traffic between fedora.redhat.com and 
fedoraproject.org. As long as we have two different websites for the 
same thing, we are bound to do redundant work. We keep talking about 
setting up the plone page but I dont see anyone working on it (other 
than a stock fpserver.fedoraproject.org) and I dont know enough about 
plone to do things myself. So how are we going to progress on this? We 
need a reasonable timeframe and being struck with no movement on plone 
is not a option.
