We have several issues to solve in GNOME Products:

- The structure of pages under GNOME Products.
- The product page functionality/layout/content
- The pages withy listings
- The things I will find once I scan the previous points.  ;)

I think it's better to start new threads for each "chapter". I'lkl be
back in a minute (or two) with the structure of pages.
