Reorganised structure

I reorganised the section structure.

My general suggestions for keeping wiki pages organised:

  • Use descriptive section titles, even if they're a bit longer (as recommended for function and variable names in the GNU Coding Standards!) - so that people find where to put stuff instead of making their own duplicate section
  • Don't let lists get too long - split them and give them titles, otherwise everyone just adds to the list without reading what's there already
  • For each section, try to provide a link to the campaign web pages or something so that that reader knows exactly what the section is about. (For a new visitor, it's hard to figure out what goes in an empty section titled "Working Together for Free Software"!)
