[General] Wiki web name for EngineeringArea

[Mimi Yin]

Ok, I think I know where I got lost. You proposed we combine Get  
Involved and For Developers (I think) and we had discussed / decided  
earlier to combine For Developers with the Engineering Area and call  
it Developer Area instead. So now I guess I'll go back to asking why   
we need to have separate Community and Get Involved pages. It seems  
like the 2 are 2 sides of the same coin. (Here's how to get  
involved...Here's why we care about you getting involved and what  
does it mean to get involved.)

Perhaps it's a matter of balancing the elements on that page? De- 
emphasize the notes for example and blow up the Get Involved area.

I imagine this as a destination for understanding our open design  
process, mailing list etiquette and best practices for discussing  
issues and making decisions, etc...
