Description

contribute.jquery.org is intended to be about contributing to all jQuery Foundation projects, but it's very much rooted in the jQuery family of projects (jQuery Core, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, etc.). As the foundation continues to grow and adopt more projects, we need to rethink the structure and content of the site.

It may make sense to move a lot of the content, for example the style guides, to jquery.com since they're specific to the jQuery projects. The contribute site should then talk about projects having enforceable style guides and can link to the jQuery style guide as an example.

There's also content that may be harder to find a proper home for, like http://contribute.jquery.org/triage/#projects which we probably don't want to keep changing as the projects change.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current content and structure of contribute.jquery.org, including the style-guide material and the triage/#projects page mentioned in the issue. Map which content is specific to jQuery projects versus applicable to all Foundation projects; done requires an agreed information architecture and content plan.
