The immediate thing to do is to add a highlighted note to the frontpage 
of http://fedora.redhat.com . It can read as " We are currently in the 
process of evaluating a transition of this website into 
http://fedoraproject.org.  http://fedoraproject.org is a community 
website thats being revamped and more content is being actively added to 
it on a regular basis. Users are recommended to visit this website for 
other regular updates. Discussions about a new content management system 
to host our updated infrastructure among other details is in progress in 
fedora-websites-list [link] and #fedora-websites freenode IRC channel 
[link]. If you are interested in taking part in these discussions take a 
look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites, subscribe and post to 
the fedora-websites  mailing list{link]. Thank you for your interest in 
the Fedora Project "

I suppose this accurately reflects our position now. Other than that 
there has been a few missing links and some content that could be added 
or modified. I will provide a list or file bugs appropriately
