I've just uploaded my mindmap: 
http://wiki.jabber.org/index.php/Jabber.org_relaunch# (at the bottom again)
The purpose of the mindmap is to provide an overview, but it is not 
finished yet.

One big question that remains open is: shoudl we make XEPs and features 
taxonomy or nodes?
(fot the ones not so familiar with drupal: taxonomy = "tag", while 
"node" is a customizable page entry)

pro taxonomy:
+ easy to filter nodes by taxonomy (not so easy with node references)
+ uncomplicated when we want a multi language page
- no big options to provide additional information to features and XEPs

arguments for node:
+ we'll  have complete nodes to describe and handle XEPs and features 
(attach images af multiple fields etc..)
- when we have a multi language we run into serious problems (assign 
german, italian and english XEPs nodes to a client node??)
- views module does not seem to be able to create filtered lists by 
refereced nodes

Please comment on it - since having a more complete overview will ease 
the future work on jabber.org for everyone.
