Looping back to try and get this sorted, sorry about the delay.

I've made most of the changes. I put the section on its own at the end
of the sidebar after a lot of debate, I wasn't sure it quite belonged
at the top next to the "newcomer" pieces and concepts.

With dates, it is hard. For example rpm support drip fed in over 2008-
2010. sstate was a long evolution. I've added a few more dates, if you
think there are specific pieces where we should add more, let me know.
I'm having to search the repo for commit dates to pin things down.

See what you think of v2...

Cheers,

Richard
