[hibernate-dev] New layout for the website

[Steve Ebersole]

Overall the new design looks amazing.  I do agree with Andrea about the
gold backgrounds - that looks anything but modern and does not match the
rest of the site design imo.

For another iteration... "Getting started" is another group of information
that is version specific.

A minor thing that I can probably change myself somewhere... I very much
dislike "Your relational databases. Handy."  I'm sure everyone will have an
opinion like when we discussed "Everything data" refrain.  Some initial
thoughts (with varying punctuation options):


   1. Your relational data.  Objectively.
   2. Your relational data - objectively
   3. Object/Relational Mapping
   4. All your (relational data)base are belong to us - just for fun :)
