Look at the difference in content between:

<http://chandler.osafoundation.org/getinvolved.php>

and

<http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/CommunityArea>

Assume that we delete the section called "get involved" from the  
Community Area page.   There's then very little overlap between those  
two pages.   I think that the two pages serve very different  
purposes.   One is a set of gentle onramps for people to find a way  
to get involved based on tasks.  The Community Area page is one level  
above that -- it includes the governance, the various roles, etc.   I  
think that combining those pages puts too much information in a  
single place.
