Some clarification is in order... After 1.34.0, and before 1.35.0, the 
website will not be integral to the release sources. This has some 
immediate effects for thinking about the svn switch:

* People can start migrating non-release documentation to the new 
website immediately. This includes some of the above docs.

* The website content doesn't need to be complete before making it public.

* As soon as the new website is public, we are free to do a release 
without worrying about when the website is updated.

With that in mind perhaps it's a good idea to switch the new website 
content over to svn ASAP so that I can make some structural changes, and 
so that people can start moving over website documentation.

Doug, what do you think... Could you make the website module move 
available soon?
