[Roadmap] the 'old roadmap' and Google

[Mark Corum]

I think this is a very good suggestion.  I think using a properly
crafted redirect would have the best chance of preserving the Search
Engine rankings that this page currently has rather than having to
start over.

Current SEO logic says the iFrame will hurt our rankings - but I saw
last night the code produced by the Google docs export and it was NOT
pretty at all.  Is there a good way to get formatted text from Google
Docs and into Plone without having to start over?
