I received several reviews of the new content over the last two weeks.
The preview website is now live with the following corrections.
Corrections:
* "Maybe the sources tab should point at gitweb."
- Already points to gitweb in "via git" link.
* Make a distinction between using and building glibc under "Get Started?"
- Added a section on "Getting started using glibc" to clarify.
* Mention the additional mailing lists in the "Get Started" page
- Added a "For more mailing lists" link.
* Confusing terminology on documentation page regarding "man-pages" and "manual pages" and "manual"
- Use "man-pages" consistently throughout to refer to man-pages.
* Use 'whom' not 'which' on main page.
- Fixed.
* Reword plea for help as more emphatic.
- Done.
* Add an easy to see link to the bug database.
- Added back the 'Bugs' tab as "Report a bug"
