Split docs into siteadmin and pluginwriter guides
* create initial bits for plugin writer's guide * move siteadmin stuff to site administrator's guide * rework index.rst to support multiple guides * tweak some text * move files into subdirectories I verified that this still works with html and texinfo build targets. There's still a lot of work to do, but this is a good start.

+Release Notes
+=============
+
+This chapter has important information for releases in it.
+If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it
+carefully, or at least skim over it.
+
+
+0.3.0
+=====
+
+This release has one important change. You need to act when
+upgrading from a previous version!
+
+This release changes the database system from MongoDB to
+SQL(alchemy). If you want to setup a fresh instance, just
+follow the instructions in the deployment chapter. If on
+the other hand you want to continue to use one instance,
+read on.
+
+To convert your data from MongoDB to SQL(alchemy), you need
+to follow these steps:
+
+1. Make sure your MongoDB is still running and has your
+ data, it's needed for the conversion.
+
+2. Configure the ``sql_engine`` URI in the config to represent
+ your target database (see: :ref:`deploying-chapter`)
+
+3. You need an empty database.
+
+4. Then run the following command::
+
+ bin/gmg [-cf mediagoblin_config.ini] convert_mongo_to_sql
+
+5. Start your server and investigate.
+
+6. That's it.
