As a user, I found the byzantine complexity of the site pretty frustrating in
the beginning -- although now I am kind of used to it. But I recall finding a
lot of seeming duplication; for example, when I looked for installation discs
with TDE. Somehow I would end up finding different sets of pages, apparently
because legacy items were allowed to remain, then new pages created for newer
distros, and so on.
It doesn't really apply to my own situation now, as I decided to roll my own.
However, it occurs to me that we might want to preserve an archived version
of the old pages, at least for a while, until the new pages supersede them
completely.

Another possibility would be to divide the
development links according
to types of potential volunteers and give them each an overview page
with resources and how-tos, for instance:
DEVELOPMENT: Coders, Packagers, Translators, Testers, [...]
Although I admit I can't recall seeing that anywhere else. That may mean
that it's a bad idea.
I would suggest keep it simple and less is more, because everything needs
to be maintained. I always try to reduce to the minimum necessary to
communicate something.
