[General] New PPD Team Page

[Pieter Hartsook]

While it is nice to provide all this information at a glance, I
initially feel overwhelmed by the amount of detail I see (2 sidebars,
2 columns, multiple layers of headings and bullets, some below the
fold on a 1024x768 window, ...). It's hard for me to see and
understand the scope and arrangement of the information amidst all the
detail.

I'm wondering if this page should be more of a summary to convey the
organization of information (think Table of Contents) rather the place
to list for example the actual day and time of the design meetings.
Maybe each of those major headings needs its own wiki page where you
can expand on details relevant only to that topic?
