Maybe we want to build out the IXP home and sub-pages from https://www.drupal.org/ixp → ?
Regardless, IMHO, the near-term goal is to determine a hierarchy of pages that we'll need for launch. How about:
https://www.drupal.org/ixp → - main page that includes overview, summary of requirements, and links to sub-pages
https://www.drupal.org/ixp/employer-requirements → - employer requirements for contribution credit
https://www.drupal.org/ixp/employee-requirements → - who can apply for IXP positions
https://www.drupal.org/ixp/case-studies → - see 📌 Collect case studies from existing programs Active
https://www.drupal.org/ixp/best-practices-employers → - see 📌 Develop IXP Best Practices Documentation Active
https://www.drupal.org/ixp/best-practices-employees →Much of the information for the main page and two requirements pages can come from 🌱 IXP Phase 2 proposed process Active

https://www.drupal.org/ixp → is Ready to write on it. I am working with @camoa on documentation structure. Some of this sections look repetitive, but we will clean that as we write.

About the Initiative

Wow - really great work so far - thanks so much!
I think the main page → , the What is an IXP? → , and IXP for new developers → are all ready to go - I made relatively minor changes to each of them.
That leaves IXP for organizations → and IXP for volunteers/reviewers → .
@anilu@ @camoa, do either of you have the content for either of these pages ready-to-go somewhere or will it need to be created (mainly from our "process" Google doc?)
I think the "IXP for organizations" page has a much higher priority, as that's what we want to be focusing on at DrupalCon next week - finding participating organizations.

If we focus on the title of this issue, I think that https://www.drupal.org/ixp → is actually complete enough for launch. Anyone feel differently?
