[Bf-webcontent] Managing code and content requests for blender.org

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Scott,

Your reaction makes perfectly sense. The current 'chaos' shouldn't last longer than a few days to fix the worst issues though. That can be done by the people who already made the pages anyway.

The first step we then need to make is to establish and appoint a website editor team. We need to get people here empowered to manage sections on the site, and to get officially listed as "owner teams". 

Using phabricator (or another system) can be reviewed then too. But I don't think we need it right now urgently. The website has done without active editor team for years (mostly just me doing it), we can survive a couple of days more without :)

Laters,

-Ton-
