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"

Cheers,
Carlos.
