New description:

 We have policy and advice distributed across 3 sites now:

  * the download page
  * the haskell.org wiki page
  * the haskell trac page

 My current view is that the haskell.org page is now redundant.
 What we should have instead is:

  * hackage.haskell.org/platform   <=> http://www.gnome.org/  (i.e. home
 for the user-facing project
  * the trac wiki <=> http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning (i.e. dev
 facing page)
