Websites people say that the wiki/Join page still will contain "roles",
it is suggested (not decided it seems) that the top level join page also
will, although displayed in a more brochure kind of way.

In the bottom of the top level join page there will be a link to the
wiki/Join page.

So, anyway, I take that as a go-ahead to use "roles" on the sub-project
page. If there isn't any more thoughts about this I'll go ahead and
implement this on each sub-project page. Sub-projects can them fill in
any blanks.
