Re: GWT rebranding

It has already noticed that the landing page of gwtproject.org is not friendly for people who know nothing about GWT:

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt-site/issues/38

So this needs to be updated. Maybe some SEO work can also be done to improve ranking when searching for "Java to JavaScript compiler". GWT is already on the first page but I guess it should be possible to climb up a few ranks.

I would not rebrand GWT to a different name and literally break everything because there are lots of blog entries out there talking about GWT. If you would rename GWT then people new to <insert new shiny name> would not find these resources even though their content might still be relevant and helpful. 

Moving source code to the org.gwtproject namespace would be nice, as it underlines that GWT is now managed by a Steering group, but I am not sure if that will ever happen and if its really that important.
