[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Server visibility and documentation

[Raymond Nijssen]

Indeed, marketing it as "one of the QGIS products' could be a good plan.

Now, our website says:
QGIS - The Leading Open Source Desktop GIS

Also, the download buttons at the landing page point to QGIS Desktop only.

Not sure about the need for a new logo though. New logos can take 
forever! :) What about writing "desktop" and "server" next to or below 
the existing logo?
(similar to this:

)

Raymond
