      Create a top-level "About" page to succinctly define the RHDP. ALR to provide copy.

      From original email discussion:

      Was prepping some emails today and in wanting to use the site to explain
      our group and mission, realized that we might not have a top-level
      “What is the Red Hat Developers site?” page, or a “What is the Red
      Hat Developer Program?” in an “About” (or similar) link.

      Some copy that’s close is after the promos carousel on the home page:

      “Red Hat delivers the resources and ecosystem of experts to help
      professional programmers to be more productive and get ahead of the
      curve as they build great applications. Join now for free![1]

      …but I’m often looking for an elevator pitch description more
      specifically for our group and this site in particular.

      e.g.: “Node.js® is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime
      for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an
      event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and
      efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run
      across distributed devices.”

      IBM DeveloperWorks, for instance, has this page, albeit noted in a small
      link on the home page at the footer called “About”, and it’s
      really wordy:

      http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aboutdw/

      +1s to creating this in a prominent spot as evergreen (or at least as a
      prominent link)? If so I’ll send along some content straight from the
      “Introducing the Red Hat Developer Program” press.

      S,
      ALR
